Wow you can get those big ass homes for under 500k and near lake superior why so cheap?
Those homes look like they should cost at least a million or more especially with the land.
The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is kind of a little hidden treasure imo. The winters are long and harsh, so I think that's what keeps people away. It's very low crime too. There has only been about 4 murders in the last 15 years in the city I live in and you can always feel comfortable leaving your doors unlocked.
It's pretty desolate up here though I live in the biggest city in the Upper Peninsula and it's only about 23,000 people plus a University of about 8,000. The winters can be alright though if you want to do snow stuff. We have a ski hill and a ton of snowmobile trails. Ice fishing and fat tire bikes are big too.
In case you're wondering these are fat tire bikes (basically snow mountain bikes). This was taken several blocks away from my house.
My house (2 bed 2 bath) would probably sell for around 130K and this is the view from my back deck.
This is right after the snow melted, so everything is kind of brown...
I caught this after I was up all night drinking
It also makes a lot of top 10 lists as far as places to raise kids and outdoors kind of stuff goes. Here's a short little tourist hype video that can give an idea of what it's like.
