Marquette Relocation Guide

Internet

  • NMU LTE Services
  • Spectrum
  • Starlink is also rolling out across the U.P. and we’ve heard great feedback from our friends in the Keweenaw. Like many rural communities, internet strength may vary based on location but we’re glad that we have choices in MQT

Rentals

  • Many find success in finding rentals on Facebook. Aside from Marketplace here are a few groups to keep an eye on:
  • NMU’s Off-Campus Housing List
  • While Zillow is a failsafe in many communities, when looking for rentals it’s not as widely utilized unless you are looking to purchase a home here in Marquette.
  • Property management companies can be a great help and can advise you on a location that best suits your needs.  We do recommend reaching out as soon as possible as many have waitlists.
  • Pet friendly can be tough to find, depending on your budget Harbor Vista and One Marquette Place does allow pets.
  • KI Sawyer has beautiful apartments that are 30 minutes away
  • Negaunee and Ishpeming have very reasonable-priced rentals with only a 10-15 minute commute, these areas may also be more likely to allow pets.

Buying

  • Make sure you are pre-approved
  • Begin your search at least 6 months prior to your move date
  • If you are looking to spend less for more square footage consider outlying communities like Harvey (5-10 minutes from MQT), Negaunee (10 minutes from MQT), Ishpeming (20 minutes from MQT), and Gwinn (30 minutes from MQT),
  • We cannot give recommendations on specific realtors but know there are many talented and knowledgeable professionals in the county. We have gained a lot of knowledge from working with Stephanie Jones as well as the Artisan Real Estate Group in Marquette.
