Located a few blocks from downtown, The Village at Grand Traverse Commons is a unique collection of shops, boutiques, galleries and restaurants in a cluster of creamy castles surrounded by acres of beautiful, wooded grounds. Go for the shopping, the history or a guided tour. The Village is one of the largest historic renovation projects in the country. In another life, the property and buildings were known as the Traverse City State Hospital.
