First settled in 1845 as the Lake Michigan shipping center of Port Clinton, this "All American City" is a prestigious residential community with one of the North Shore's most diverse assortments of housing from stately Southern Colonials to soaring contemporaries...impressive lakefront estates to sprawling multi-levels...trim bungalows to luxurious townhouse/condominiums. Streets are tree lined and winding, criss-crossed by numerous deep ravines; there are several upper bracket subdivisions, but the majority of housing consists of substantially older residences interspersed with the new. Characterized by a high percentage of residents engaged in the "professions", the highly educated populace is both concerned and involved in city matters.
