Union Pier Real Estate

Union Pier Homes for Sale

Union Pier sits along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Harbor Country, between New Buffalo and Lakeside, with Red Arrow Highway and I-94 threading through and the lake at the end of the road ends. Owning here means owning a parcel, not a share of one: most of the homes for sale are detached houses rather than attached units in a condo or townhouse development, so the roof, the lot, the well of trees around it and the seasonal rhythm of opening and closing the place are yours to schedule. The stock runs from original cottages through renovated homes to larger custom builds and scattered new construction. Craig Palmer works this market closely and knows how much changes from one road to the next.

How Craig Palmer helps you decide

Craig Palmer has spent enough time in Union Pier to know that two listings a few hundred feet apart can ask very different things of an owner, and that the differences show up in the lot, the structure and what beach rights actually come attached. That is the kind of knowledge that gets used in person: standing on a property with you, sorting what you are being told from what you are buying, and slowing down the moment where a decision gets made on a map instead of on the ground. The work ends with you knowing which version of Union Pier ownership fits how you actually live, and feeling settled about the one you picked.
