Traverse City is an amazing area. I'd wonder about the cost of living.

 

It costs an awful lot of cherries to live there ...

 

Home of the Beach Bums

 

Home of the Bayshore Marathon and Red Wings training camp.

 

You will need a roommate to afford rent. You will need an independently wealthy spouse to buy a home.

 

That's what I gathered. I'm interested in this job. Traverse City is one of my favorite places (I run Bayshore every year). But a quick scouting report on rent in the area wasn't too encouraging for what I presume this job would pay.
