Of the 204 total housing units, 112 sit vacant and designated for seasonal use. That's 55% of all housing stock. The median home value reaches $550,000, and the median age of 58.5 years points to retirement-focused second-home ownership along this stretch of Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay coastline.
The post office operates as the year-round anchor for a community that swells and contracts with the seasons. Only 74 housing units are occupied full-time, yet the PO Box count exceeds that by more than three times. Those extra boxes belong to property owners from elsewhere who maintain permanent mailing addresses here for tax documents, property management correspondence, and seasonal deliveries that can't wait for their arrival.
Carrier delivery follows rural routes through the limited residential area, with just three streets appearing in delivery records: Bayshore Drive, Baker Street, and Pearl Harbor Drive. The post office building itself holds a dedicated ZIP+4 record. This is a small footprint for mail delivery, but the box count reflects the broader service area and the realities of seasonal property ownership in Northern Michigan resort communities.
The three streets reflect waterfront location (Bayshore Drive) and limited development scale. Pearl Harbor Drive likely references the small harbor area. The minimal street count confirms this is a compact seasonal community rather than a sprawling development.
