Farmhouses and cottages
Homes are generously spaced along the main streets, West Burdickville Road and Maple City Road. Yards are spacious, with shade from established trees and farmland extending to the horizon. There are several types of houses in Maple City: split levels, farmhouses and cottages, many built when Maple City's name was still new. On South Olivia Drive, though, early 2000s developments have sprung up. Houses are priced between $300,000 and $525,000, depending on size and condition, with newer homes typically priced higher than older homes.Restaurants, shops and farmstands
The village center is at West Burdickville and Maple City, where two restaurants, a gas station/convenience store and a few shops do business. Broomstack Kitchen & Taphouse serves burgers and tacos and offers an extensive beer list, all within Maple City’s historic schoolhouse. Inside Broomstack, diners catch front-row views of the Leelanau Curling Club’s adjoining indoor ice rink. Alongside the Curling Club and Broomstack is Sleeping Bear Bay Club, a gym that offers yoga and group fitness classes. On Maple City Road, Pegtown Station serves pizza in the evenings and brunch from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily. Next door, MC Short Stop, a convenience store attached to the Mobil gas station, provides quick access to household necessities, snacks and fuel.Nearby farms, including Bohemian Lavender Farm and Red Gate Farm, offer farm-fresh produce and pickled and canned preserves, and something that doesn't come in a jar or can. “When you drive along Shimek Road, you see the beautiful purple fields; people roll down their windows to smell lavender on the breeze,” says Freundl. Pop-up farmstands, where people stop by to pick up herbs and goods, are common in Maple City. For pantry restocks, head 3 miles east along East Bellinger Road to reach Bunting’s Cedar Market, the nearest full-service grocery store.
Myles Kimmerly Park
While Leelanau Curling Club and Sleeping Bear Bay Club provide indoor exercise opportunities, Myles Kimmerly Park handles outdoor recreation. Established in the 1970s, the park has soccer and baseball fields, volleyball, tennis and basketball courts, and an 18-hole disc golf course. There are shaded picnic tables, grills and restrooms, and the Patrick Hobbins Hiking Trail provides a nearly mile-long walking path around the park. With a playground, a merry-go-round and swing sets for children of all ages, Myles Kimmerly Park has plenty to enjoy during warm weather.Glen Lake Community Schools
Students growing up in Maple City may attend Glen Lake Elementary, Middle and High School, which are collectively graded B by Niche. Overseen by the Northwest Educational Services (formerly known as the Traverse Bay Area Intermediate School Districts), Glen Lake Community Schools provide students access to technical vocational training in Traverse City at the Northwest Education Services Career Tech. Glen Lake High School offers industrial arts classes, cooking classes, and dual enrollment with Northwestern Michigan College.Leaving town
Maple City is about 17 miles northwest of Traverse City, and depending on traffic, driving between the two takes about a half hour. Cherry Capital Airport, the closest airport, is about 22 miles southeast of Maple City.

GreatSchools:
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.
