From ranch-style homes to lakeside manors
Home styles vary widely throughout Tichigan, with many dating back to the 1960s and 1970s. The area’s ranch-style homes have low-slung rooflines and garages that fit one or two cars, while larger colonial revival-style homes feature more open facades with broad gables. These styles typically have less than 3,000 square feet, sit on streets slightly off of the lake and sell between $300,000 and $600,000. Tichigan’s modern and cabin-style homes commonly surpass 3,000 square feet and sell between $600,000 and $1.5 million.

Local fundraising events
The Tichigan Lake Lions Club has served the community since 1917, organizing events to raise funds for local causes. Approaching its 20th anniversary, the Tichigan Lake Lions car show is an annual event that attracts auto enthusiasts and more than 1,000 show cars. The show is held to help local families experiencing hardships, focusing on raising money for children with significant medical needs. Tichigan Lake Lions Flannel Fest brings community members together to don flannel and enjoy food, drinks and raffles, all to benefit various local causes.Local pizza and Mexican food
North Lake Drive holds Tichigan’s only pizza place, The Cruise. Wood paneling and warm colors give this local joint a laidback, comfortable atmosphere. East of The Cruise, Sol y Luna Mexican American Restaurant serves a menu of authentic Mexican fare that’s popular with residents. Residents hoping to pick up groceries or do some shopping have to head south to Waterford, where they can stop at My Creative Cottage for crafty home decorations or stop at Pick N Save for groceries.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
