This Small Michigan Town Was Named ‘Most Expensive’ in the Nation

Before you start guessing whether or not Detroit or Grand Rapids got crowned with this title... I hate to break your bubble but no.

In fact, the town is just a small town here in Michigan.

This Small Michigan Town Was Named 'Most Expensive' in the Nation

Lakeside, Michigan, has officially snagged the title of the most expensive town in the nation!

Yep, we’re talking about a small spot nestled in Berrien County on the southwest shores of Lake Michigan.

This place is part of the Harbor Country region, which already has that coveted “upscale getaway” vibe. But what makes Lakeside really stand out is its exclusivity – we’re talking a population of fewer than 300 people.

According to HGTV, the average home price in Lakeside is a jaw-dropping $2,652,417. And if you’re eyeing that prime Lake Michigan frontage, be ready to pay even more. Case in point, there's a nine-bedroom Georgian estate that’s making waves in the real estate world with its $9.45 million price tag.

This mansion is loaded with luxuries – think wine cellar, swimming pool, and a guest house. It’s no wonder this home is set to be one of the priciest sales in the area.

So yeah, Lakeside might be tiny, but it’s certainly not lacking in high-dollar charm. If you’re dreaming of lake views and a quiet, high-end lifestyle, this town is officially at the top of the list – though you might need deep pockets to make it happen!

It’s wild to think that a town so small can pack such a big price tag, but that’s Lakeside for you. It’s one of those places where exclusivity meets natural beauty in the perfect mix. You’ve got the peaceful shores of Lake Michigan right there, stunning sunsets, and a level of privacy that’s hard to come by.
