Oregon Township trades dense city streets for spacious, wooded lots
Go big and go home: there’s plenty of room to spread out within the multibedroom homes and vacant, forested lots of Oregon Township. With a population density of one person per acre, this wooded sanctuary has retained its natural landscape since the Township was established in 1846. Residents love the quiet, rural lifestyle that Oregon Township gives them. Indeed, it’s not walkable or bikeable and has no public transit beyond school buses, but locals have happily traded traffic and honking cars for green space and babbling brooks.
Oregon Township homes with surrounding acreage usually sell for $115,000 to $535,000.

Summers are for sports and relaxation, winters are for hunting
Nature is the main source of entertainment for folks in Oregon Township. Go birding, fishing and boating in Zemmer Park and Holloway Reservoir. Let off steam at Torzewski County Park: from Pero Lake to the covered amphitheater to the waterslide, you can spend your whole Saturday here. This park also has a newly added disc golf course and playground among its open meadows and forested land. And during open season from August 1 to March 31, hunters enjoy access to public and private land, including two Lapeer State Game Areas where they will find deer, snowshoe hare, quail and more.

Nearby Lapeer has grocery stores, diners and restaurants
Oregon Township has small convenience stores for everyday essentials and LJ’s Farm Market for fresh produce. But typically, residents head 6 miles southeast to Lapeer for groceries, restaurants, and fun. Pick up groceries at Kroger or Aldi, then swing by Dagwood’s and Blondie’s, a lunch favorite for coffee, tea and sandwiches. As far as local events, families love the annual Rubber Duck Dash in Cramton Park: “Throw rubber duckies into Farmers Creek, and whoever’s duck gets across the water first wins!” says Rehne Voss, Realtor at Coldwell Banker. With 18 years of experience in the area, Voss keeps tabs not only on real estate but on all things local: “And every August, Lapeer Days Festival has a carnival, parade, beer tent and food trucks.”
Shoppers in Oregon Township can stop by ALDI for affordable and niche groceries.
