Community Overview

Petoskey is located on the shores of Lake Michigan's beautiful Little Traverse Bay in northwest, lower-Peninsula Michigan. The historic architecture, seasonal activities, and miles of waterfront make it a great place to settle year-round. Petoskey is a wonderful place to raise a family with its excellent schools (both public and parochial) and community sports programs. The historic downtown offers many gourmet restaurants, specialty shops, and boutiques, as well as an active art and music community leading to very diverse and exciting opportunities to both watch and participate in music and theater. Petoskey's housing market has diverse residential options: from condominiums to several acres of land, and ownership to renting. The area boasts of elegant Victorian architecture in the homes and buildings, with more than 400 homes on the National Historic register. There is something for everyone with the plethora of year-round outdoor activities in Petoskey. In the winter, the Winter Sports Park offers outdoor hockey, ice skating, and sledding; while the summer provides tubing, swimming, and countless beaches and woods to explore. Several hiking and biking trails wind throughout the area; some are even part of the North Country Trail, which links seven states and covers 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota.
