Erie is a charming Michigan township located just a 12 miles north of the city of Toledo. Characterized by wide-open spaces and picturesque farmland, Erie is a vibrant community just west of the lake with which it shares a name.
Aside from the modest selection of restaurants and a neighborhood pub at the intersection of Erie Road and South Dixie Highway, Erie lacks a definite town center. Instead, residents enjoy a close-knit community spread out over the nearly 30 square miles of southeast Michigan. If you want a tranquil environment with plenty of room to grow, look for a rental in Erie.
