Village East Apartments

Podunk, Butman, Hockaday, Meredith and Oberlin are rural communities in Gladwin County, set among wooded land, lakes and the rolling terrain of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. The area has four-season weather, with warm summers for time outdoors and cold, snowy winters. Small lakes, quiet roads and natural surroundings shape daily life; boating, fishing and walks on local roads and trails are popular ways to enjoy the landscape. Gladwin provides nearby places to shop, eat and pick up a coffee, while the surrounding communities have a quieter, more spread-out feel than a town center. Local history is tied to the region’s rural development and lake country, rather than a cluster of major landmarks. A car is generally the most practical way to get around, with regional roads connecting homes, outdoor spots and services.
