Grand Traverse County Reviews
Rating 4.33 out of 5 3 reviews
Attention to local trails and public space is appreciated. Very safe and secure area, good for raising families. Downtown is not affordable for the average single person, however dual-income or high net worth households can make it work. Availability for rental homes/apts and daycare is very, very, VERY low. The natural beauty of the area is unmatched.
Traverse City is a beautiful family-friendly town filled with incredible beaches, hiking trails, wineries, breweries, restaurants, activities, and tourist attractions. Downtown has unique restaurants and shopping stores. No matter where you are, you are never further than 10 minutes away from the water. Nightlife is average, with some bars downtown, but there are a lot of places that offer live music. However, cost of living is very expensive, and there is a lack of diversity within the town.
Downtown is adorable. Restaurant selection is amazing. Three movie theaters, all with different qualities, and lots of schools to send children to.
