What it’s like
The place. Coral is a small town in Montcalm County, Michigan. Across the county, most homes are lived in by their owners. Winters are colder and snowier than in most of the country, and summers are warm enough for a pleasant season outdoors.
Work. Across Montcalm County, many people work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, or in the building trades. Unemployment has eased over the past year, and the number of jobs has edged up. Fewer adults hold a degree than across the country, and few people work from home.
Things to do. Cowden Lake is in or beside town, so it is the closest outing for a swim or a quiet afternoon by the water. A longer drive away, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is a botanical garden with sculpture set among its plantings. The North Country Trail, also a longer drive away, is a trail for walkers and hikers who want a longer route through the woods.
