Grant Township home appraisals
Grant Township, in the county's southwest corner, had 1,212 people in 2020 and a median owner occupied home value of $260,800 in ACS 2020 to 2024 estimates (Census Reporter). It borders Benzie, Manistee and Wexford counties and has no state highway.
Karlin, Twin Mountain and the Benzie line
Grant Township sits at the far southwest edge of the Traverse City metro area. Karlin is the one named community on the map today. Twin Mountain began in 1888 as a stop on the Manistee and North-Eastern Railroad, and Pavlovic Corner was once a small settlement of its own. Homes carry Buckley, Grawn, Interlochen or Thompsonville mailing addresses. Neighbors include Inland and Colfax townships in Benzie County, Cleon Township in Manistee County and Hanover Township in Wexford County.
A corner township touching three counties
Grant Township forms the southwest corner of Grand Traverse County and touches three other counties. It has no state trunkline highways, so county roads carry the traffic, and the mean commute was 27.4 minutes in ACS 2020 to 2024. A small part of Green Lake reaches into the township, and the Betsie River starts at Green Lake. Karlin is the named community. A 2015 county tax report lists four school districts with property here: Kingsley, Buckley, Benzie Central and Traverse City Area Public Schools.
