The scenic country setting of Rudolphi Woods Subdivision offers low-cost, quality homesites in an elegant setting. A nearby wildlife refuge enhances its rolling topography. While the development is located within the city limits, residents say it's common to see deer and even a wild turkey, or two, roaming the land.

Rudolphi Woods SubdivisionOriginally introduced by the City of Dowagiac, Rudolphi Woods Subdivision is now owned and marketed by St. Joseph developers Charles and June Rollinger. It provides paved streets, curbs and storm systems, and underground utilities. To view Phase I, take Division Street to Riverside Drive, then turn left onto Dogwood Circle.

Located in Pokagon Township on M-51, just south of the city, is Merrywill Shores, a new subdivision developed by Dowagiac resident Andy Merrill. A stately gate of fieldstone welcomes potential buyers to Phase I development that features 17 homesites. When the subdivision is completed, it will include three man-made bodies of water and 92 homes.

For those families who prefer maintenance-free living, Villamere Condominiums, located on Dowagiac's east side, offer detached single-family villas on 34 acres that adjoin the picturesque Mill Pond.

Phase III provides another 14 sites in a wooded, open or cul-de-sac location.
