Bellevue, MI

An area of Calhoun County that is popular with homebuyers is Bellevue, Michigan. Buying a home in Bellevue, Michigan places you in a great location between Battle Creek and Olivet, and gives you access on I-69 to Lansing or Marshall if you need it.

One thing to consider in buying a home in Bellevue, Michigan is that the city is located in Eaton County, but part of the village is in Calhoun County. Depending on which section of Bellevue you select will determine which County you have to work with in terms of well and septic requirements.

Barry County is merged with Eaton County with their health departments, and both require that a passing well and septic inspection be done on any property before a change of ownership can be recorded. So what this means when buying a home in Bellevue, Michigan, if you buy in Barry or Eaton County, this requirement will kick in.

If you buy in Calhoun, it is not a mandatory, and although sometimes called for by a loan program, it is optional for the buyer. So when working with first time home buyers who are interested in buying a home in Bellevue, Michigan, I explain this difference to them and they usually want to look at the home in Calhoun County portion first.

Not all homes in Bellevue are on well and septic, as the main village does have city water and sewer. Some properties just outside of the village often have well and/or septic systems. The population in Bellevue, Michigan according to the 2000 U.S. Census was 1365, so you can see that it is a smaller community.
