With cities like Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Traverse City, the Lower Peninsula of Michigan is the most populated region of the state, housing about 95% of the inhabitants, ensuring that there is plenty to do for those that visit and live there. You can live out your Olympic dreams at the Muskegon Winter Sports Complex, sightsee at one of the many lighthouses that dot its shorelines on 4 of the 5 Great Lakes, visit the Henry Ford Museum, or walk on the whistling sand of Grand Haven. Home to the birthplace of the automobile, soda pop and over 11,000 lakes, you will find much to do here. Michigan also ranks lower than the national average for affordability.
