When asked what Howard City was like back in the day Ron states, “Downtown was bustling with three grocery stores, two hardware stores hardware’s and and drugstore. It was busy all the time.” Today it is a nice rural area with many lakes. We are close to the cultural areas of Big Rapids and Grand Rapids just a few minutes down the expressway. It’s the perfect mix for someone who doesn’t want to live right in the bigger city, but commutes.”
