Lynn Township is about as rural as Michigan gets, where residents hunt and farm on their acres of private property, and roads are free from traffic – aside from the occasional trailer causing a backup. With about 1,000 residents living in just over 400 homes, the township is spacious, peaceful and quiet, attracting homebuyers looking for the privacy and freedom not often found in a big city or the suburbs.
Many locals were born and raised in Lynn Township and never left. Still, new homebuyers are looking to live there for either their first or second time. "I get a lot of people [buying in the township] who moved away at some point and want to come back, or people who are tired of the city and want more privacy or land," says Eric Raymo, a Realtor with eXp Realty who sells in the area. Because of its location and lack of public transportation, Lynn Township is best suited for farmers, remote workers, retirees and those who don't mind a long commute. There aren't many children in the township or activities for kids, but nearby school districts are well-rated, and yards are plenty big to play in.
Homes don't go on the market often – it's not unusual for a property to be kept in the same family for generations. "You get a lot of people who move here, and once they're here, they don't go anywhere," Raymo says. "You're going to find moms and dads and grandparents who have been here for 40 years." Housing styles are diverse, and prices range widely. Still, large yards are the standard across Lynn, where homes are along county roads rather than in subdivisions. Available properties include:
If you're a hunter, a farmer or someone wanting to make money off your unused space, Lynn Township may have some options. "Some people still farm in the area, and if people aren't doing it themselves, they're leasing it out to neighbors or other local farmers," Raymo says. "There's also so much more freedom with building permits and what you can do on your land," he says. "If you want to put up a pole barn, just go to the town hall and get the permit that day."
One thing to keep in mind when buying a home in Lynn Township is that properties rely on well water and septic systems. St. Clair County Health Department manages regulations and inspections.
From Lynn Township, you can expect a 20-minute drive or more to necessities. There are limited gas stations, restaurants or grocery stores available, and the nearest small city with a good selection is Imlay City, about 15 miles away. Yale, in Brockway Township, and Capac, in Mussey Township, are slightly closer but with fewer options. Similarly, locals can expect a long commute to work, usually 30 to 90 minutes. "Most of the money and industries are in Wayne County, Oakland County and Macomb County," Raymo says.
Children are zoned to attend either Yale Public Schools, Capac Community Schools or Brown City Community Schools, which all provide transportation. Michigan's school choice program allows students to apply to schools outside their zoned district in a participating district, and Yale, Capac and Brown City all participate in the program.
