Relocation Information
Named one of the 27 Top Lake Vacations in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report, one of the Best Beach Towns to Live In by WalletHub, and one of the Best Counties to Retire In Every State by MSN Money, the Traverse City area is a thriving northern Michigan region.
There are many reasons that make the Traverse City region a great place to live. For those who are considering making the move or just want to learn more, check out the Michigan Creative Coast and check in with the Northern Navigators, a team of locals (both new and long-timers) who are here to help make the transition easy. The state of Michigan has more information through its You Can In Michigan campaign.
