This inland town, in the middle of Berrien County’s prolific fruit and vegetable belt, enjoys a temperate climate and rolling terrain unique to this corner of Michigan. Berrien Springs is distinctive in other ways: home to Andrews University, the largest Adventist Church university in the world, it attracts an international student body and faculty. Berrien Springs also has one of the large natural foods stores in Michigan. In keeping with Berrien Springs’ agrarian roots, properties include orchards, vineyards and farms, with housing from brick farmhouses to wooden A-frames. One of the most sought-after residential areas is along the broad St. Joseph River, which winds through the landscape.
