Local life in Vassar
Vassar was Tuscola County's original county seat until 1860, when it moved to Caro, and the town has the older bones you would expect from that history. It sits on the Cass River, which is the defining feature of this stretch of the Thumb.
Pricing is modest, the housing stock is largely older, and acreage is readily available. For buyers whose budget does not stretch in Genesee or Lapeer County, this is one of the places it still goes a long way.
It is about an hour northwest of Lapeer. Flint and Saginaw are the practical centers for work and shopping, and most people buying here are oriented that way rather than south.
