Geography & Climate
What more could you ask for – living along Michigan’s golden coast, growing commerce, and some of the freshest fruits and vegetables in the world? The greater South Haven area is outstanding for all!
Defined as a 12-by-20 mile corridor on the southwest shore of Lake Michigan where sunsets cap days of beachcombing, shopping, dining and adventuring. The region includes communities of South Haven, Bangor, Glenn and Grand Junction as well as the townships of Bangor, Casco, Columbia, Geneva, Covert, Grand Junction and South Haven.
Quality of life is a big draw for the near 80,000 residents of Van Buren County and the thousands of annual visitors. Some of the reasons include recreation, attractions and cultural amenities, healthcare and educational excellence.
The communities are connected by farm fields and a strong agricultural presence bordered by beaches and the recreational harbor of South Haven. A respect for the environment and a focus on the natural assets of the area make South Haven a prime location to recreate, relax and enjoy family and friends!
