Tony McGhee has been driving 40 miles round-trip for the past nine months to manage a city where he can’t find a house.

McGhee in January became the city manager of Buchanan, a largely agricultural Berrien County community of about 4,300 residents and 20 miles inland of Lake Michigan. His housing predicament reflects a broader shift across rural Southwest Michigan, where buyers from Chicago and South Bend are driving up costs after being priced out of traditional lakeshore destinations.

“New Buffalo and the Harbor Country area, six, seven years ago, really got (cost) prohibitive for people, so those people moved inland,” McGhee said, referring specifically to the Three Oaks area, about 10 miles east of New Buffalo. “Now, Three Oaks has been bought out, and so that pressure is starting to move our way.”

However, Buchanan is preparing for that growth. The city is in the middle of a $20 million redevelopment of its downtown infrastructure to add all-new water, sewer and roads. With state and federal grant support, the work will mostly wrap by November.

Buchanan is also joined by other Southwest Michigan communities that are buying up obsolete industrial properties for mixed-use conversions, ushering in zoning reforms to help lure developers and turning to the state for funding support. It’s all a game of catch up after decades of stagnant housing construction.
