North Branch fuses an agrarian past with a modern identity. A small Michigan town located 76 miles from Detroit, tractor trailers and farm equipment can regularly be seen driving through town. Energized by a strong communal solidarity, small-town is the lifestyle of choice in North Branch Township.
Many of the residences in North Branch Township are three-bedroom ranch-styles built as early as the 1980s. They are often surrounded by acres of land that leave plenty of space for growing gardens or letting four-legged friends get their exercise. Homes in this area start at $429, 900 on the low end and run up to $500,000 on the higher end. Although the township doesn’t have a ton of highway access, it does have several connections for residents on the go. Michigan State Routes 24, 53 and 90 are connected to roads within the township.
There’s plenty of room for little ones to run around and play at North Branch Memorial Park with its playground and skate parks. For those who want to soak in even more of the great outdoors, Washakie Golf and RV Resort has several amenities for camping, golfing and more.
Lined along Huron Street, North Branch’s main thoroughfare, there are several small businesses dedicated to dishing good eats. North Branch Bar & Grill serves hometown favorites in a down-to-earth setting. The North Branch Bakery sells pastries, breads and donuts that are so popular they will often run out by noon. From April to October, TJ’s Ice Cream Cabin wows with dazzling desserts like hand-dipped ice creams, frozen custard and soft serve.
Residents can shop for groceries at Kingsmill Market, which is a short 4-mile drive to Arcadia Township. Campbell’s Greenhouses is a great place for gardening and landscaping needs. Daniel Orr Sons Hardware prides its local fame with a cheeky front sign: “Your Great Great Grandfather Probably Traded at Orr’s.” Unique Boutique creates beautiful floral arrangements for every occasion.
Realtor Patty Clendenan of Realty Executives Main Street LLC says, “One of the biggest draws is to the North Branch School district. Even folks who live out of the area go there. They have great athletic and music programs.” Both North Branch Elementary and Ruth Fox Middle School earned B-ratings from Niche while North Branch High School, which offers both AP and STEM courses, received a B-rating.
Because there are several farms and plants within the area, the neighborhood likes to keep in touch with its roots. Farmer Day is an annual tradition that began during Spirit Week at North Branch High School and has since caught on with North Branch Elementary. Students dress up as farmers and drive their tractors to school, paying homage to the township’s agricultural identity. The ritual is a reminder of how North Branch’s agricultural identity stays strong as it moves through generations. It’s also easy to see how connected the community is through holiday festivities. The township celebrates July 4 and Christmas by rounding up lit-up vehicles and parading them through town. They show how North Branch Township is a collective, powered by the kind of friendly spirit that comes small-town life.
