Have you considered moving, but not sure where to look? Why not try West Michigan. Here's why... 1. Affordability. West Michigan is still one of the best places for work/life balance. 2. Growth. We continue to grow in numbers while maintaining a small town feel. We have finally broke through the 200k mark for prime working age population. 3. Social Life. West Michigan is growing leaps and bounds with breweries and social activities. We are community based, which means we are not recruiting hermits. We are a hands-on town with lots of ways to socialize and volunteer. 4. Housing. While our housing costs are going up, we are still affordable based on most other towns with the same demographics in the US. 5. Coastline. West Michigan has amazing inland lakes for all activities. Lake Michigan is our little slice of salt-free ocean life! 6. Outdoors. There are so many ways to enjoy our area: dune rides, hiking, kayaking, biking, swimming, tubing, dinner
