Cadillac, located in the "up north" part of Michigan, offers a quieter alternative to Traverse City, blending small-town charm with a variety of outdoor attractions. With a population of just over 10,000, Cadillac has maintained stability over the past two decades. The housing market features a mix of styles from 1900 to 2000, including modern condos downtown, though inventory can be limited.

Cadillac is also a hub for trails, off-roading, snowmobiling, and hiking, with the White Pine Trail stretching 92 miles to Grand Rapids. Caberfae Peaks, 15 miles away, offers affordable skiing and snowboarding with 34 slopes. Downtown Cadillac, situated on Lake Cadillac's banks, features vintage storefronts and mom-and-pop stores, with Cadillac Commons hosting walking trails, a splash pad, concert pavilion, and farmers market. Annual events include the Fourth of July festival, Cadillac Festival of the Arts, and Cadillac Beer Festival. Cadillac High School is notable for its rock 'n' roll history with KISS.

Winters are long with significant snowfall, and properties on well water systems may need PFAS testing due to past contamination.
