Abstract
Drawing on research in rural geography and community development, this study investigates the impact of second-home development and the relationships created between second-home owners and full-time residents in Bellaire, Michigan. This qualitative research study explores the social, natural and community capital of Bellaire, evaluates the significance of second-home ownership and directly engages with community stakeholders. The findings suggest that housing is unaffordable in this village, and that there are dynamic relationships, both positive and negative, between second homeowners and full-time residents of Bellaire. This further suggests that there are no true “insiders” and “outsiders” in this community.
