Willow Point, by I-94 north of the river
The northwest corner along I-94 and North River Road holds Willow Point, which the township master plan calls its largest manufactured home community at 88 acres. About 369 of the block group's 420 homes are manufactured homes, median year built 2003, and the Census owner median of about $22,900, give or take about $8,000, reflects mostly manufactured homes. Whether the land comes with the home decides how one is financed.
