A Better Vision for Bridgman
Experience the exceptional lifestyle that Trails of Bridgman brings to this well-established community. Nestled in a town with a strong sense of character, Bridgman is celebrated for its stunning Lake Michigan shoreline, inviting downtown, and top-rated schools. Families love the highly regarded Bridgman Public School District, consistently ranked among Michigan’s best, while professionals enjoy growing local employment opportunities, convenient access to I-94 and a quick commute to nearby Southwest Michigan destinations.
The concept that governed the design for the Trails of Bridgman was to change the paradigm that will enable residential home building and land development the opportunity to create housing inventory for rural towns. The combination of land purchase, development restrictions, municipal approvals, market absorption and capital funding must dove-tail and be blended for success. The Trails of Bridgman combines the natural features of the site, innovative storm water harvesting techniques, curvilinear street design, open space features and connectivity with the city trails and educational facilities. When implemented, a holistic natural environment grounded and supported by the community is the outcome.
A Smarter Community, By Design
