Acme, Yuba and Holiday Hills

Acme itself is the crossroads where US 31 and M-72 meet on the bay. Fivemile Corner grew up where Five Mile Road and Holiday Road met the old highway. Next to it, the suburban Holiday Hills area spills south into East Bay Township. Yuba sits on US 31 in the north, on the way to Elk Rapids. Bates, settled in 1891 about three miles east on M-72, is now a ghost town. The whole township covers 25.3 square miles, nearly all of it land.

Without a census table of its own, Acme gets valued sale by sale: bay frontage, resort condos and rural acreage, each on its own.

Bay shoreline, resort condos and open land

The bay shoreline along US 31 is the main draw. The township and the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy bought more than 6 acres with 1,300 feet of shoreline for Bayside Park, with a goal of a mile of public shore. Grand Traverse Resort and Spa sits on about 900 acres with three golf courses and condos beside the fairways and on East Bay. Part of the township is in the Grand Traverse Reservation. Parts of Acme are in Elk Rapids Schools, so check the district for each address.

Common questions

How are resort condos at Grand Traverse Resort appraised?
The resort covers about 900 acres in Acme with three golf courses and condos on the bay and along the fairways (Small Market Meetings, 2023). Condo appraisals compare sales in the same project first, and review association fees, rental use and the condo budget, because lenders review condo projects before they approve a loan.
Which school district serves Acme Township?
Elk Rapids Schools serves part of Acme Township, along with part of Whitewater Township and areas in Antrim and Kalkaska counties, per its Wikipedia entry. Its Mill Creek Elementary is in nearby Williamsburg. Other Acme addresses fall in a different district, so the district should be confirmed for each property.
