Maple Grove sits along the shores of Lake Ann. Private peers jut out onto the water, offering easier access than the public beach park offered on the other side of the water in town. As an unincorporated Lake Ann neighborhood, the community might not have the village’s restaurants and parks right around the corner, but residents are still very much part of the small-town community based there. “It’s not a bunch of random people from all over the nation,” says real estate agent Leanne Deeren with Real Estate One. “It’s very local — families who have been in the area for generations.”
Ranch-style and split-level homes along Lake Ann
Trees line Maple Grove’s winding streets, leading to its ranch-style and split-level homes. Most properties have anywhere from a quarter to about an acre of space, while those along the water have private docks and beaches. Most homes in Maple Grove sell between $225,000 and $425,000, but those on water range from $700,000 to $1.3 million. Maple Grove also receives a 1 out of 10 for overall crime from CAP Index, compared to the national rating of 4.
Swimming in the lake and hiking through the woods
With their own docks, people can easily get onto Lake Ann, whether they want to boat, fish or swim. “It’s a little smaller than other lakes, so it warms up quickly,” Deeren says. Those without access to a personal dock can head to Almira Township Lakefront Park, where people can wade into the water from the sandy beach. Lake Ann Pathway stretches for almost 6 miles along the western side of the lake in Pere Marquette State Forest. The campgrounds over here also offer another way to access boating and fishing on the lake.
Downtown Lake Ann's different restaurants and eateries
Downtown Lake Ann has three main restaurants. In the mornings, people can stop in for caffeinated drinks, pastries and sandwiches at the Red Door Coffee House. Stone Oven is the dinner spot, serving burgers and pizza. Both it and Lake Ann Brewing Company share the same outdoor stage, where visitors can come to watch live music throughout the year. Lake Ann Grocery is the village’s only grocery store, about 3 miles from Maple Grove.
Maple Grove students attend Benzie Schools
Maple Grove students attend Lake Ann Elementary School and Benzie Central Middle School, which both receive B-minus ratings from Niche. B-rated Benzie Central High School offers the SEEDS Program, where students meet monthly for free field trips and learning opportunities for STEM, sports, art, music and leadership.
Music festivals and monthly meetings with village officials
In late August, the Annual Lake Ann’s Music in the Park Festival features local acts at Almira Township Park. Lake Ann also has things happening throughout the year to keep residents engaged and connected. “The president of the village — he goes by Hawk — hosts monthly meets for coffee at The Red Door and whoever wants to come can come to the meeting and have input on the community,” Deeren says. “They’re getting ready to host a little dance at the village hall.”
Driving to Lake Ann and Traverse City
Maple Grove Road is the only throughway in and out of the neighborhood, and Reynolds Road is the only street linking the neighborhood with the rest of Lake Ann, about 3 miles away. The nearest city is Traverse City, about 17 miles away. Munson Medical Center is also here, about 15 miles away, while Cherry Capital Airport is about 21 miles from Maple Grove.
