Small Town Safe Low Crime Affordable Industrial Historic

Allegan is a small industrial town surrounded by the idyllic countryside of southwest Michigan. The city’s landscape is perhaps most distinguished by the abundant historical architecture on display, with countless Victorian homes, stately public buildings, and the Second Street Bridge (better known as the “Old Iron Bridge” to locals) giving Allegan a timeless character.

The Downtown waterfront district in particular has been beautifully preserved, with the charming storefronts actively in use overlooking the Kalamazoo River and landmarks like the preserved Regent Theatre still active nearly a century after its founding. Positioned roughly halfway between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, living in Allegan allows you to live a tranquil small-town lifestyle with two much larger cities less than an hour away.
