A quaint village on the shores of Lake Huron

Tucked along the Lake Huron shoreline in Michigan's Thumb region, Lexington is a small harbor village about an hour and a half north of Detroit. Life here moves at a slower pace -- a quaint downtown along Main Street holds locally owned shops and cozy eateries, and the water is always close by for fishing, swimming, or just watching the lake. The surrounding farmland and open pastures give the village a peaceful feel that sets it apart from anything near the metro corridor.
Rental options lean toward smaller apartments and single-family homes, with an affordability that reflects the village's small scale. The housing stock tends toward traditional Michigan residential architecture. Come summer, activity picks up considerably as visitors make their way to the harbor and waterfront.
