Leave the hustle and bustle behind in rural Arcadia

It’s convenient to get to more popular places to work,” says Tonia Allis, a Realtor with MBA Real Estate Services, who has sold homes in the area. “It’s a great place to be if you’re an outdoorsman. There are plenty of lakes for fishing and areas for hunting.” Residents can work in places like nearby Flint while spending their weekends hunting, fishing or relaxing in the peace and quiet of their rural neighborhood.

Farmhouses and ranch-style homes with acreage to boot
Most homes in Arcadia Township are ranch-style houses, but homebuyers have a mix of styles to choose from. “The homes really vary here. Anything from country farmhouses to new construction, you can find it out here,” says Allis. Houses are often set on large lots of five to 10 acres. There are some areas where the homes are closer together, but they usually have plenty of room between neighboring homes. There are several working farms in the area as well. Three-bedroom houses can range from $200,000 to $480,000. Four- and five-bedroom houses typically cost at least $350,000 but can cost as much as $700,000 for a 10-acre property.

From hunting season to rolling greens
Residents of Arcadia Township have access to public hunting and fishing land at Lapeer State Game Area. Visitors can put in a boat on Long Lake and spend the day out on the water. Much of the land in the area is available for hunting, but there is also a wildlife refuge nearby. Residents need to know all the rules and regulations before starting their trip. When hunting season ends, locals also enjoy hiking and walking through the natural area. Golf lovers have two courses to choose from nearby — the nine-hole par-36 Arcadia Hills Golf Course and the 18-hole Castle Creek Golf Club. Castle Hills is a par-72 course with a clubhouse designed to resemble European castles. The clubhouse serves food and drinks to golfers after their game is over and is also a popular venue for weddings and other events.
