it’s that time of year again! The second annual @properties Home for the Summer tour is upon us. We’re excited to give you a sneak peek of some of the beautiful properties we have to offer in the resort home communities of Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana. In this magazine, you’ll find a curated collection of available homes with something for everyone, whether you’re seeking a charming condominium or a lakefront estate with luxury amenities. We encourage you to see them in person during the series of home tours taking place on July 14 (Harbor Country), July 28 (St. Joseph), and August 25 (Northwest Indiana). Beyond that, we created this magazine to help you get better acquainted with this one-of-a-kind lakefront locale. Whether you find yourself perusing a farmer’s market, dining with a view, or exploring one of the area’s celebrated wineries, we want you to feel right at home when you’re here. As you flip through the pages, enjoy a glimpse of the laidback lifestyle that beckons you to stay for the summer – or even year-round. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming home tours and look forward to showing you the many reasons this area is undoubtedly one of our favorite summertime destinations. Enjoy the magazine and we’ll see you soon!

dinner with a view Sometimes, food tastes better by the water. Luckily for residents and visitors alike, there are plenty of opportunities to dine alfresco or with a lake view. Whether it’s breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, here are four spots to enjoy your next meal with a view.
bentwood tavern at the marina grand Waterfront dining on the New Buffalo Harbor doesn’t get any better than at Bentwood Tavern. Situated right on the harbor, the views rival the cuisine – watch the boats pull in and out against a Michigan sunset. Offering handcrafted cuisine featuring local, seasonal ingredients, there is always something new to try – and something new to pair it with. Bentwood Tavern is known for its rotating craft beer taps and extensive wine list, including several local Michigan options. 600 W Water Street, New Buffalo, MI • marinagrandresort.com
tabor hill winery & restaurant Tabor Hill’s lush green vineyard is one of Harbor Country’s best kept secrets – and most picturesque spots for cocktail hour. The restaurant at Tabor Hill is a prime spot for an elegant dinner with a seasonal menu, and a local beer, wine and cocktail list for perfect pairings. Start with a cheese & charcuterie plate to pair with your Barrel Select Chardonnay and move on to a main course – favorites include the fried chicken thigh and cedar wrapped salmon. Indulge in pure, sweet Michigan Cherry wine after your meal or tour the vineyard with a glass of vino. 185 Mount Tabor Road, Buchanan, MI • taborhill.com
lakehouse restaurant What do you get when you combine award-winning Lake Michigan views with elevated American cuisine? The aptly named LakeHouse restaurant – built in 1892 as a summer home – delivers on both accounts. Even with a menu featuring surf and turf, burgers, and sandwiches along with gluten-free and vegan options, LakeHouse is known for its beachfront ambience and its scenic sunset views. 3029 Lakeshore Drive, St. Joseph, MI • thelakehouserestaurant.com
bridges waterside grill If you’re looking for a burger and a brew overlooking Trail Creek, you’re looking for Bridges Waterside Grille. Sandwiches, soups, seafood, vegetarian and gluten-free fare are all on the menu here and locals love the Cajun fried perch and the grilled shrimp skewers. Seating at Bridges is mainly outdoors and diners have a prime view of the local boat traffic out to the lake. Settle into the wooden picnic tables for a no-frills meal and watch the sun set to cap off a perfect day on the nearby dunes. 508 E 2nd St., Michigan City, IN • bridgeswatersidegrille.com atproperties.com | 7
shop at these farmers markets The mention of a farmers market conjures images of freshly picked produce, handmade jams and jellies, and locallysourced meats and cheeses - all at your fingertips on a sunny day. Here, it also brings to mind food trucks, artisans, live music, and weekly yoga. From the taste of homegrown flavor to enjoying those sunny summer days, farmers’ markets have a lot to offer for early risers and midday visitors alike. Before those dog days of summer, find your way to any (or all!) of these hand-picked local farmers markets:

This open-air market is all-inclusive. Visitors can shop and grab a farm-fresh breakfast or lunch and indulge in an afternoon cocktail, craft beer, or glass of wine.

tips to help guide your vacation home search Once you’ve experienced the beauty, simplicity and charm of these communities, it’s easy to imagine returning on a regular basis. If you’re planning to buy a vacation home in the area, here are a few tips to help ensure you find the property that best suits your needs.
choose the destination carefully
This seems obvious, but it’s one of the most important things to take into account. If you’re looking for a retreat for your family and friends to visit frequently, the destination should be within easy driving distance. On the other hand, if your goal is to generate rental income, you need to know that the area has strong rental demand. Speak with a local real estate broker who knows the ins and outs of the community and be sure to spend enough time there as a visitor to ensure it’s the right fit. (Whether you’re visiting short or long term, check out Yellow Bird Vacations)
2
yellow bird vacations Renting a home is the perfect way to experience everything a community has to offer before you buy. Whether you’re staying the entire season or looking for a home base during your search, look no further than Yellow Bird Vacations. Founded by Toni Morris, Yellow Bird Vacations specializes in luxury vacation rentals throughout Harbor Country’s lakefront communities. yellowbirdvacations.com
find a property that will suit your lifestyle long term Your personal tastes and lifestyle will dictate the location and, of course, the type of home you purchase. If you live an active lifestyle when you’re on vacation, look for a home that offers easy access to recreational activities. If you prefer low maintenance, a condo could be your best bet. List all your wants and needs and consider if the home will accommodate your lifestyle in the future.

know all the rules It’s essential to be aware of all relevant ordinances, homeowners’ association rules and any other changes that may be under consideration. A local real estate pro can familiarize you with these rules (i.e. whether the property allows renters, pets, certain activities, etc.) and help you find a home that you can use to its full potential.
4
calculate all the costs
From taxes and management fees to routine maintenance, insurance, and utilities, there are other costs to take into
5
consideration beyond the purchase price. Make sure you are aware of all the costs that come with the property so you aren’t in for any surprises down the road.
have a maintenance plan Think about how you will manage the property when you return home. If it will be used as a vacation rental property, you may want to find a local property manager who can not only help with maintenance, but also help find renters and handle tenant requests. Buying a vacation home is an exciting endeavor. The more prepared you are, the more seamless and enjoyable the process will be – and the sooner you’ll be unwinding in your new home.
