Every Day Living is Excellent in Charlevoix

Maybe it’s the drawbridge in the center of town. Maybe it’s the exquisite Lake Michigan setting. For whatever reason, the pace and quality of life is just different here – more relaxed and more personal, a place you may have thought no longer exists.

About the Community

It’s called “Charlevoix the Beautiful” and who can argue with that? From its petunia-lined city streets to its yacht-filled harbor, this small community is as pleasant as it is picturesque. Charlevoix bustles in the summer and breathes easier in the winter, offering four seasons of spectacular recreation.  

It is a family-friendly city boasting a downtown filled with unique boutiques, waterside amphitheater, marinas, parks, and excellent schools.

Charlevoix offers easy access to other northern Michigan amenities, such as Mackinac Island, Beaver Island, Boyne Mountain, and Boyne Highlands, acres of trails and pristine forests, and some of the best fishing, boating, kayaking, and beaches in the north.
