Ask a questionAbout Ben Rubert
I used to live in Atlanta, GA but this has always been HOME. Northern Michigan has so much to offer everyone and yet it remains a reasonably well kept secret. I grew up in Traverse City, went to high school and college there. I have lived in Texas and Georgia, but this is were my family is most 'at home.'
Why Ben Rubert chose Elk Rapids
After 30 yrs of coming back home (see i grew up in Traverse City) we finally found the perfect place to purchase. Cozy and comfortable, this home and this town was what TC was when I moved there in 1972.
What makes this House unique
I would say the most "unique" benefit is the fully fenced back yard which is great for kids and dogs to enjoy. It is large enough to roam but small enough so that you can keep your eye on whomever is outside playing.
