About Berrien County, MI

Here in Southwestern Michigan we have 8 resort communities known as Harbor Country. We've been referred to as the "Hamptons of the Midwest", "Chicago's Cape Cod" and other synonymous references. If you have been fortunate to visit the Hamptons, Cape Cod & the Islands then you know what I mean when I say it's a magical place where you feel as though your only care is what's for dinner and fill my glass please! Harbor Country is within an hour and a half drive from nearly 15 million people, we host mostly Chicagoans who buy second homes here. Lately we've seen a spike in buyers from Indianapolis, South Bend and Lafayette Indiana as well as East Coast Michigonians. Our market has remained quite stable in the "housing meltdown" we still get bidding wars on homes and there is much good happening here. Harbor Country, my Michigan home.

Entertainment, Three Oaks style: Dave Fink and Kim Clark took a forlorn factory and made it into a world class performance venue. http://www.acorntheater.com/ With choices such as rock, opera and folk music to jazz, disco and drama, you will always be left wanting more when you are entertained at the Acorn Theater. Why would you even bother to travel to Cannes or the Sundance film festivals when you can see the same films at the Vickers Movie House. John and Jennifer Vickers http://www.vickerstheatre.com/ poured their hearts into creating a magical place where expression and art tantalize the mind. If your idea of entertainment is spending a lazy day in the park under the tall oaks reading, then you must wander into the big pink victorian house at the corner of Elm and Sycamore. Rick and Donna will sell you a book, then go to Froehlichs http://www.shopfroehlichs.com/ get a few items to nibble on and spend your day at Dewey Canon Park. Bring a portable radio and tune it to 106.7 FM http://www.radioharborcountry.org/ because Three Oaks has it's very own radio station with programming as eclectic as the town.
