The historic and quaint charm of the Dixboro community, just east of U.S. 23 and Ann Arbor, is maintained by the area’s ability to keep developers away and a desire by residents to maintain the historic feel, Concentrate reported.

Dixboro maintains its historic charm.
Dixboro, an area within Superior Township, has found a way to grow without expanding or compromising its historic feel.
Lack of a sewer system, municipal water and modern municipal services deter developers, especially when a city open to development is so close by, the report said.
In addition to natural constraints to development, a design review board is in place to make sure growth comes from redevelopment and restoration.
