Wayland, MI Real Estate & Homes For Sale

"Small town feeling, everyone is friendly. Nice community to live in. Many local options for restaurants, store and parks. "

"If you like big city life then don't bother because this is small town life at its best. We feel very safe here, and letting our kids (9 and 15) ride their bikes downtown and to the park and to their friends houses, is a luxury that only a small town like this can afford you. It is friendly here but maybe the feeling of security hinges on the fact that the state police make their presence felt as their headquarters are on Main St, and there's city police as well. The community feels welcoming and friendly and there are many churches to choose from. If you're looking for a party town, this is not it. There are a couple of pizza places to choose from, a couple of bars, but nightlife is not the big draw here. The local grocery store is a friendly market where the bag"boys" carry your groceries out and load them in the car for you. A tiny and historic library, antique shop, coffee shop, flower shop, flea market store, adorable pet store, a strangely out of place Dollar General and the ice cream shop are the draws to downtown. But there's a dry cleaner and 24 hour fitness center off downtown too. Everything you really need is nearby and still there's excellent access to the freeway. Oh, and if you want a day at the lake there's Gun Lake nearby, Yankee Springs Recreational Area, and it's huge. Also, there's a new casino at the next exit... not our thing, but something you should know about."
