A gated golf course community near Saline

Settled between Ann Arbor and Saline, Travis Pointe is a private community centered around the namesake Travis Pointe Country Club. Custom-built homes built between the 1970s and today sit on large green lots with views of the fairway, small ponds and wooded landscapes. The club and the surrounding community draw “a very welcoming group of people,” according to Travis Pointe Country Club General Manager Kori Isaac. The area is also zoned for several highly rated Saline public schools and is within driving distance of many retailers, restaurants and Interstate 94.

Golf, tennis, swimming and more at Travis Pointe Country Club

Travis Pointe Country Club is the community’s anchor, where members have enjoyed an 18-hole golf course and other amenities since 1977. “It has a pretty large practice facility with a driving range, a putting and chipping area and a short game area,” Isaac adds. When not on the green, members can enjoy indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis tournaments and formal dining events with other members. A 24-hour fitness center and a golf simulator room are among the club’s other indoor amenities. Beyond the area’s spacious backyards, the nearest outdoor gathering space is Tefft Park. Visiting athletes can use the park’s tennis, volleyball, soccer and baseball facilities. It shares a property with the Saline Rec Center, which has an indoor pool, fitness equipment and more. Football fans can cheer on the Wolverines at Michigan Stadium, known locally as the Big House.

From contemporary condos to waterfront estates on Bay Lake

The Travis Pointe community features mainly Colonial Revival and New Traditional houses, some with Tudor-style elements. It also has several clusters of contemporary condos. “The homes are all different — it’s not cookie-cutter by any means. That’s always refreshing compared to newer developments,” Isaac says. Detached Travis Pointe homes start in the $500,000s for two bedrooms and can top $1.1 million for five. Homebuyers can find condos around the same price point, with most ranging from $400,000 to $900,000. The adjacent Three Arch Bay subdivision has large custom homes backing up to the small Bay Lake. Prices tend to range from $600,000 to $850,000, but waterfront homes can reach up to $2 million. Other properties in the surrounding area include many midcentury ranch-style homes. These start at around $400,000 for four-bedroom builds. Travis Pointe properties have HOA fees that can vary from $100 to more than $500.

Interstate 94 is a major east-west highway

Ann Arbor-Saline Road runs alongside the community, taking locals to Ann Arbor about 7 miles north and Saline roughly 4 miles south. Along the way, drivers will encounter “any shopping they could possibly need alongside convenient access to Interstate 94,” says Realtor Darryn Brundage-Forrest of At Properties Christie's International Real Estate. The east-west highway leads to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport about 26 miles away. Detroit itself is less than 50 miles away, and residents with the proper identification can cross Ambassador Bridge to reach Windsor, Canada. Medical care is roughly 10 miles away at University of Michigan Hospital.
