Adrian Township is a blend of suburban and rural living
Adrian Township gives buyers plenty of home options close to outdoor attractions and access to the city of Adrian. The township’s southern end, which is adjacent to the city, has multiple housing developments and newer amenities, including a hospital constructed in 2020, while the north is more rural with multiple crop farms. “It has a lot of really new development going on,” says Mark Baker, a broker/owner with Foundation Realty, who has 17 years of experience. “I would say the proximity to Adrian, and the [area being connected to the] sewer, which is not the case in many rural townships, [are major draws].”
A mix of housing styles with large lots
Homes include ranch-styles, bi-levels, and newly constructed traditionals. Prices in the area can range from $100,000 to $700,000, with factors such as condition, age and location determining costs. Townhomes and land are also available. Baker notes that the township does not have substantial HOA activity. “I would say most residential [areas] are almost single-family half-acre lots from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet,” says Baker.
Homes on the southern end of the township are typically on winding streets with large lots, with oak and pine trees accenting lawns. Properties to the north are further apart, with large crop fields and forests decorating the landscape. Some homes back onto local lakes and have private fishing and boating docks. Baker adds that Adrian Township has attracted mostly families “looking for more rural spaces.”
Local highways connect to interstate, and airports are a distance away
Highway 52 runs along the eastern edge of the township and connects to Interstate 94, 26 miles north. Toledo Express Airport is 37 miles south, while Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County is 51 miles northeast. ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital is in the northern part of the township and opened in 2020.

Bicentennial Park has soccer fields, a playground and trails. Heritage Park, located just east of the township, features several baseball diamonds, pickleball courts and a sledding hill. The 9-mile Kiwanis Trail runs through the southeastern end of the township.
