Resting two hours west of Detroit, Bedford is a rural town less than 10 minutes from the city of Battlecreek. Bedford is mainly residential with most residents working in nearby cities like Battlecreek. The small town features large sprawls of open fields and farmlands that separate homes, but this pastoral nature is what makes Bedford such a hidden gem. Bedford is family-friendly with access to excellent schools.
There are several parks with ponds and streams, making fishing and other outdoor hobbies extremely popular. North Branch Fishing Park is an extremely popular spot for fishing trips with the beautiful Kalamazoo River running through the area. Surprisingly, Bedford is also home to Michigan’s largest hot air balloon agency. Book a ride and you’ll be able to see some of Michigan’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. Bedford is a great choice for those looking for an affordable house or apartment, but the abundant pastoral beauty in this area will make renters proud to call Bedford their home.
