Lakes of the North sits amid rolling hardwoods and clear inland water between Mancelona and Gaylord in Antrim County, offering a four-season lifestyle that blends recreation with relaxed living. Residents enjoy private beaches and boat launches, an indoor pool and activity center, a campground, and even a small community airport. Golfers can spend the day on the community’s 18-hole course, while miles of nearby trail corridors connect to the Michigan DNR snowmobiling network for winter adventure. Day trips are easy: sip and dine in Traverse City, or carve turns at Shanty Creek Resort when the snow flies.
Schools are a strong local anchor, with students served by Mancelona Public Schools and access to regional higher education through Northwestern Michigan College. Housing options range from cozy cabins tucked in the trees to lakeview homes and buildable parcels on quiet roads, making it simple to match budget and lifestyle.
