Quiet Creek Condos in Chelsea, Michigan 48118: Chelsea Real Estate

Quiet Creek Condos in Chelsea

View Larger Map

Quiet Creek Condos are located at the very North end of Chelsea, Michigan just off M-52. Situated away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area yet close enough for an active walker to stroll to the main downtown shopping district. There are only 14 Units available at Quiet Creek each with its own garage.  Units sell quickly at Quiet Creek as this is a very desirable condo development.

The interiors of these condos boast an open floor plan with elegant living and dining areas. A fireplace adds a great deal of ambiance to each condo unit. The architectural design of the windows provides wonderful views to the outdoors and fills each unit with daylight. Spacious master bedrooms have plenty of storage space included. The grounds are beautifully maintained. On occasion you may even see a deer or two in your own back yard.  We have included a copy of the Quiet Creek Master Deed for you to review.  We have just been chosen to represent a Seller with their listing in Quiet Creek located at 113 Quiet Creek Circle.

The city of Chelsea is a great place to live, play and learn. Chelsea Schools are a positive influence  to the entire Chelsea Community. Students at Chelsea work diligently to perform well not only in their academic studies but in extra curricular activities as well.  The  state-of-the art Chelsea District Library is a place to belong.  Look for the many programs and special events hosted by the Library; which, by the way, Chelsea Library was named “The Best Small Library in America in 2008.”

Take a stroll to downtown Chelsea and enjoy dining at the Common Grill, or a performance at the Purple Rose Theatre.  Take in the sounds and sights on Thursday nights throughout the summer months. Join in and be a part of the Christmas Parade, and always take time to be in attendance at the Chelsea Fair each and every year. Glee Cake and Pastry is a great tasting way to begin any day. There is no place like the Garden Shop to buy a great gift for your friend.  If you need any homemade chocolate head to Ellie’s Chocolate Cafe.  Take a class at the Chelsea Center for the Arts as classes are offered frequently for those artistic of heart. Close by to Quiet Creek Condos is Pierce Lake Golf Course as well as many other shops, restaurants and parks for your enjoyment. This really is small town living at it’s best.

Chelsea Center for the Arts, Fosters Community Through Art

Chelsea Center for the Arts, Chelsea, Michigan
Chelsea Center for the Arts, Chelsea, MI

Chelsea Center for the Arts in Chelsea, Michigan was formed in 1994 and is well underway to becoming one of the best new community non-profit organizations in the area. Their primary goal is to “enhance the quality of life in Chelsea and the surrounding area with programs that encourage participation and appreciation of the arts.”  They are working in conjunction with the Chelsea School District; the local Businesses; the Art Galleries; and the Chelsea District Library to form a complete community connection to the Arts.

Chelsea Center for the Arts is so successful due to a dedicated group of like-minded people filled with energy and really making a difference in their community.  They are busy offering creative programs to children, teens and adults in music, art instruction and literature.  Here is a list of just some of the programs offered.

  • They offer a wide range of Music programs such as Parent & Child Music Lessons; Chelsea Children’s Choir; Youngest Singer; Music Together®; and a fun class called 88 Fingers.  Read more about these talented music Instructors and their areas of expertise.  To see of list of all the music courses offered at the Chelsea Center for the Arts click here.  You may also schedule private lessons for adults and students.  Please take time to review The Chelsea Center for the Arts Scholarships and Tuition Assistance programs.
  • Visual Arts – Students and Adults can sign up for age appropriate art classes which will open up all your creative senses.  Classes start out with art for the preschooler’s as well as after-school art clubs.  They also have classes for Teens and Adults.
  •  For those wanting to work with Clay, they have classes at different levels that will give you confidence in working and manipulating your own clay designs.
  • Or how about Photography – one of my favorites.  In this digital age, learn how to take your digital camera pics to a whole new level.  I just may be signing up for this class.
  • And don’t forget Painting with classes that will stretch your imagination in a ‘no pressure’ environment using watercolor, acrylic or oils.  And as they say at the Center, “All painters are welcome.”
  • Do you want to express yourself with the fiber arts, they offer knitting and crocheting, adding a fresh new perspective.
  • In the Literary Arts, just this past September and October of 2011, they offered a great course for Writers entitled, “Mastering the Point of View.”  Keep an eye out for other literary courses that the Chelsea Center for the Arts may offer.

Non-Profit organizations grow through sponsorship and their patrons. Fund raising efforts are ongoing.  Thanks to the generous support from contributors, non-profit organizations like The Chelsea Center for the Arts can exist to “Develop, Foster, and Promote the Arts in Chelsea, Michigan and the surrounding area.”

Homestead Tax Relief to Ann Arbor Area Buyers

Ann Arbor Home Buyers can get the homestead rate June 1 and November 1.  Legislation Passed May 1, 2012 that will go a long way to ease the pain when purchasing a Principal Residence here in the state of Michigan.  Michigan residents have what is called a Principle Residence exemption which allows a considerable savings on tax dollars on their property tax bill when homeowners properly establish a Primary Residence Exemption.

The Michigan Legislators; the Michigan Association of REALTORS  (MAR); and other coalitions worked together to move Senate Bill 349, sponsored by Senator Dave Hildenbrand (R-Lowell) into action.   The final vote in the Michigan House of Representatives was 109-1 in support of the legislation providing a more adequate reporting process for all property owners.  Governor Rick Snyder signed the bill into law on May 1, 2012.  To take effect immediately.

MAR put together a brief Q & A on the topic which goes into more detail regarding the new legislation. When buying a foreclosed home that has not been homesteaded, buyers can report the new purchase to the assessor June1 and November 1 rather than wait once a year.  If you are buying a Ann Arbor Area foreclosure, let us know your concerns. 734-669-0337.

Washtenaw County Recorded Sheriff Deeds Down 4 Consecutive Months in Ann Arbor Area

Find Foreclosures in Washtenaw County| 734-669-0337

Recorded Sheriff’s Deeds are down for the 4th straight month in a row in Ann Arbor and throughout the entire Washtenaw County area.  The monthly recorded sheriff deeds have dropped compared to last year’s monthly totals showing May 2012 at 68 and May 2011 at 84.  January through May of  2011 compared to the same months of 2012  are showing a 27.06% drop in the number of Sheriff Deeds Recorded.  For the last lowest May recorded total we would have to go all the way back to 2006 when there were 53 recordings for the month of May.  These statistics are very encouraging.

Buyers that are purchasing inventory are still very happy with the Mortgage Interest Rates remaining low.  Great market for 1st time home buyers. Why rent when you can buy with interest rates low, many times your mortgage payment will be less than your rental payment.  Homeowners know that with a fixed rate mortgage their monthly principal and interest payment will stay the same for the life of the loan.

Sellers – inventory is low right now and, therefore, many more buyers will be taking advantage of new listings that come onto the market.  On some listings we are receiving multiple offers.  Give us a call today and let us assist you with the necessary tools to get your home sold.

The following report has been provided by Lawrence Kestenbaum, Washtenaw County’s Clerk and Register of Deeds
