Groveland Township offers a rural setting near multiple attractions
The rural enclave of Groveland Township was originally a trading route for Native Americans and French settlers but became a farming community in the 1830s. The township, which has grown to a population of 5,000 people, keeps to its rustic roots, with homes typically having large lawns and driveways, with large oaks and pines overhead. This also has multiple outdoor activities, including lakes and ski resorts. It’s also a commuting distance away from Flint and the Detroit metro. “(Groveland Township has) rural charm with just the right amount of convenience,” says Angela Batten, an associate broker with Real Estate One. “It’s not flashy or fast paced, but it’s full of heart, community and natural beauty.”
Groveland Township has many working farms and ranches.

Single-family homes with some HOA activity
The median housing price is $387,000 lower than the national median but slightly higher than Michigan’s. Ranch styles, farmhouses, New Traditionals and manufactured homes are present. Land is available. An HOA oversees some properties. Batten notes that the area has a mix of longtime residents, families, and professionals. In winter, the area experiences snow and ice storms, with accumulations around 6 inches. Flood maps from FEMA show a slight risk of flooding near local creeks.
