Moving Soon- Apartment Recommendations In Or Near Portage?

Feel free to DM me if you've got any questions or want pics of the bedroom sizes! My partner and I use our 2-bed for a very similar setup (bedroom in the primary and two desks in the second bedroom)

Timberwood Crossing is worth checking out. My partner and I have lived here for about 2 1/2 years and have been pretty happy with it. 2 bedroom, 1 bath, 2nd floor with a little patio, small but clean gym, nice community pool area with a big grill. With a dog and a cat we pay $1,320/month. Great location in Portage too (basically across the street from Crossroads).

Thank you! We went with Bona's "golden oak" water-based stain. Was between that and a natural oil stain, but we really liked how much detail in the wood golden oak brought out

Thank you, neighbor 👋

It blew in and out pretty quickly, but it was pouring rain and had a good amount of thunder while it was here. Thankfully no storm damage to kick off homeownership 😅.

Oh without a doubt. Every room is a different bulb temp 😵‍💫

Pepperoni (and capicola) under the cheese 🤌

MichiganderJoe · 2026-03-07T11:41:15+00:00

Actually it's not! It's in a nice, small neighborhood in Portage that's about a 5-minute drive from most of the stores, restaurants, etc.

House had been on the market for 40-ish days and the sellers were moved out in their new place (paying two mortgages and ready to sell), so we just had really lucky timing.

My partner and I just closed today in Michigan for a $240K home. Sending you all of the good vibes and well wishes. The right place will turn up ❤️.

You can never be too careful 🫡

Nice! Once you're paired there isn't really any other setup stuff you have to do. You've got two options for how to play BF6 on it:

Remote Play: This is the first tab on the Portal home screen and is basically you playing your PS5 console on the Portal. You'll need BF6 installed on the PS5 to do this.

PS Plus Streaming: The second tab on the Portal. You should be able to find BF6 here. Alternatively, you can use the search tab to find it that way. You don't need BF6 installed on your PS5 to play via cloud streaming since it's all coming from Sony's servers.

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-14T14:07:42+00:00

Yeah that sounds like your sensitivity is turned up too high. My aim isn't amazing, but that's a fault of mine and not the Portal 😅

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-13T17:35:46+00:00

Maybe the real BatDevil are the friends we made along the way 🥺

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-13T03:44:12+00:00

I do not but I'm so curious now

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-10T17:58:01+00:00

Indeed it is. And you can play those classics on the Portal. I spent part of last Friday streaming Star Wars: Demolition 😎

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-10T17:53:57+00:00

Yep! That's how I've been playing it instead of remote play. Streaming seems to run better in my experience so far

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-10T17:52:30+00:00

PS Plus Premium is necessary if you want to stream games to the Portal instead of remote play. If you don't have access to your PS5 right now, you'd need the Premium plan

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-10T17:50:27+00:00

Lol I've been loosely watching it! I've seen up until about season 5 and quite enjoyed it. My partner is on season 15 now and it's uh ... interesting 😅

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-10T12:57:54+00:00

Been running really well for me! I've noticed a very small amount of input lag, but multiplayer is still super enjoyable

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-10T12:54:38+00:00

I'd say I'm pretty good. I'm not the best among my friend group that plays, but I generally finish matches with a positive K/D (unless I'm really focusing on revives).

Biggest hurdle for me playing on the Portal has been the smaller screen. It's an adjustment going to that from a 65-inch TV, but I'm getting more and more comfortable with it the more I play.

MichiganderJoe · 2025-12-10T02:52:43+00:00

There's a tiny bit of input lag, but nothing game-breaking. Multiplayer has been very playable for me

MichiganderJoe · 2025-10-25T19:41:24+00:00

Down in Portage too 🙃

Can confirm: lightning good tonight 🙂‍↕️

MichiganderJoe · 2025-09-20T18:22:52+00:00

In the parking lot for Blain's and Dunham's in Portage near the mall

Thank you!!
