Kingsley: a little bit of Paradise...
Kingsley has a number of strategic advantages that differentiate it as a unique place to live, play, learn, and work. Its most obvious strengths are a robust infrastructure system, significant investments in new parks, investments in the local school district, approvals for relatively new neighborhoods representing a variety of housing stock and price points, and a very stable governing body with little turn-over and experienced leadership. Kingsley has another defining characteristic: its location and proximity to Traverse City, combined with its other cultivated strengths, make it an ideal bedroom community for those wishing to live in a small town atmosphere but needing to access job centers in the nearby cities.
Kingsley has so much to offer...
Kingsley
Industry
Kingsley has a privately-owned, undeveloped industrial park. It is located along M113 and represents an ideal location for expanding commercial or industrial businesses. The park includes 117 acres zoned for industrial uses. It has not yet been split into individual parcels in order to maintain maximum flexibility. The owner, Mr. Rob Bach, hopes that its size and flexibility will accommodate larger lot sizes and users. Approximately 2/3 of the property is served by an existing water main; and %of it isserved by the Village's main sewer line. Electricity extends to the property.
Services
Kingsley has a well-defined downtown core. The downtown core is distinct and well-developed. While some of the properties are vacant, there is a strong sense of place and village charm inherent to the improvements. This is significant because, unlike many rural areas, Kingsley's downtown core functions as an important central meeting place, a location for commerce, and a well-defined governmental core with a library, post office, and Village Hall.
Schools
Kingsley has a thriving school district. The Kingsley Area School District is widely considered an excellent academic institution. With about 1,500 students and a teacher to student ratio of 18 to 1, the system traditionally outranks the State of Michigan averages and other districts within the region relative to standardized test scores.
