About Lake Ann
Lake Ann is a quiet village on the north shore of its namesake lake, about fifteen minutes west of Traverse City. Surrounded by inland waters and northern woods, it is a great spot for swimming, fishing, and paddling along the Platte River. Living here offers the peaceful pace of a lakeside retreat, while Traverse City is close enough for an easy daily commute, major shopping, and healthcare.
With fewer than 300 year-round residents, the village has a friendly, close-knit atmosphere where neighbors gather around the local park, bakery, and brewery downtown. Families appreciate having Lake Ann Elementary right in town, along with school options in both the Benzie Central and Traverse City districts. It is a welcoming choice for anyone looking for classic northern Michigan living with a quick drive to town.
