Why Solon Township Is One of Michigan's Best Vacation Rental Markets
Solon Township carries a market score of 89 — strong tier — with a gross yield of 9.75%, 3.7 points above the Michigan state yield of 6.1%. Occupancy runs 43.69%, 10.3 points below the Michigan benchmark. The township itself is compact — 23 active listings — but the catchment reaches far past it: about 1.66 million people within an hour, 5.55 million within two, and 21.4 million within three.
Market-wide averages across every listing — most of them self-managed by owner-operators, without professional pricing or multi-channel distribution — put the average listing at about $34,200 a year, the top quartile at about $48,600, and the top tenth at about $64,800. ROAM runs dynamic pricing, multi-channel distribution, and professional operations across the portfolios it manages.
Regulation is friendly: no permit is required (permit type: none), and no STR-specific ordinance exists for the township as of April 2026 — general zoning and nuisance codes apply, plus the state's 6% use tax on stays under 30 days.

Best Times to Rent Your Solon Township Vacation Property
Solon Township's calendar has a sharp peak and trough. July, the peak month, generates about 2.69 times the revenue that April, the trough month, brings in — a wide swing across just a few months. Treating the shoulder months the same as peak July or trough April misses the shape of that curve: rates and availability need to shift as the calendar moves from the April low toward the July high. ROAM's approach adjusts pricing to track that curve through the year.
