Hastings is the Barry County seat — a compact small city on the Thornapple River with a mix of century-old in-town homes, newer subdivisions on the south edge, and a large rural trade area of lake lots and agricultural parcels. LP propane and fuel oil heating are common beyond the natural-gas zone, and most rural properties run on wells and septic. Aging boilers, deteriorating roofs, and deferred electrical panels show up regularly in the pre-sale and renovation pipeline.
