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.

Three neighboring counties and no state highway: the best comparable sale may be across a county line.

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.

Common questions

Which school district is a Grant Township home in?
It depends on the parcel. A 2015 Grand Traverse County tax report lists Kingsley, Buckley, Benzie Central and Traverse City Area Public Schools districts within Grant Township. The tax bill or county parcel record shows the district for a given home. An appraisal reports the district but does not add a fixed amount for it.
Where do comparable sales come from in Grant Township?
Often from outside it. The township had an estimated 557 housing units in 2020 to 2024, touches Benzie, Manistee and Wexford counties, and has no state highway. With that few homes, an appraiser may need sales from nearby townships or across a county line, and the report explains why each one was used.
