The Michigan Advantage

Quality of Life

Living in Michigan is affordable, safe and uniquely enjoyable. Within our distinctive coastlines, we offer:

  • over 11,000 inland lakes
  • 3,200 miles of coastline
  • 99 state parks
  • bustling urban and metropolitan areas
  • retreats into vast, undisturbed wilderness

Consider the cost of living and median price of homes. In Ann Arbor it's $190,000 and in Grand Rapids it's $120,000. Compare that to Boston at $347,000, Washington D.C. at $370,000 and San Jose at $646,000 and you'll see how affordable life in Michigan is. Business costs are on a similar scale - reasonable and affordable.
