Oshtemo & Texas Township

West and southwest of Kalamazoo, Oshtemo and Texas Township offer a blend of suburban convenience and rural, upscale living. Oshtemo has developed into a significant commercial corridor along West Main Street, with shopping, dining, and services readily available, while still retaining residential neighborhoods and open land further out. Texas Township, just south, leans more rural and affluent, popular with buyers seeking larger lots and newer custom homes. Both townships fall largely within the well-regarded Kalamazoo, Mattawan, and Portage school districts. Together, this area appeals to buyers wanting easy access to shopping and Kalamazoo's core while enjoying more space and privacy than the city center offers.
