Hayes Township home appraisals
Hayes Township runs along Lake Michigan between Charlevoix and Petoskey, with Lake Charlevoix on its southern edge. Owners there estimated a median home value of $247,000 in the Census survey for 2020 to 2024, with a margin of about $36,000. Bay Shore, a census place on Little Traverse Bay, holds the northeast corner.
Three school districts inside one township
Most of Hayes Township sends children to Charlevoix Public Schools. The southeast corner goes to Boyne City Public Schools, and the northeast corner, including most of Bay Shore, goes to the Public Schools of Petoskey. An appraiser comparing two Hayes homes should check each one's district before treating them as substitutes. The township has a total area of 43.17 square miles.
Bay Shore and the Little Traverse Bay edge
Bay Shore was platted in 1896 and took its name from a railway station built in 1892. It covers 1.56 square miles, mostly in Hayes Township with a small part in Resort Township, Emmet County, and US 31 runs through its center. Burgess, also called Burgess Corner, is the township's other unincorporated community. Embo, Success and Undine are former settlements. Of the township's area, 30.09 square miles are land.
