Douglas, MI Home for Rent

Bordering Lake Michigan, the small town of Douglas sits across the Kalamazoo River from Saugatuck. Together, the two communities form “The Art Coast of Michigan.” “Saugatuck and Douglas are very artsy communities, and they feed off each other,” says Bradley Wisk, a Realtor with Keller Williams Harbortown who sells homes in the region. “They’re basically the same place, only Saugatuck is larger.” Rainbow crosswalks and Pride flags bring color to downtown Douglas, where locals can check out shops, restaurants and art galleries. The community also comes together all year long for art-themed celebrations and other events. The median home sale price in Douglas is about $550,000 compared to $680,000 in Saugatuck. Single-family homes date to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Many of the century-old houses are close to downtown, featuring Victorian architecture. Other housing styles include ranch-style homes from the mid-1900s and New Traditional houses built in the 2000s. Waterfront properties include houses on top of wooded dunes overlooking Lake Michigan and houses on the river with private boat docks. Though not as common, the community has some townhouses and condos as well. Students
