Known as the birthplace of the American automotive industry and Motown Records (named after "Motor City", aka Detroit), Michigan boasts rich history and culture. The state also offers abundant nature and outdoor recreation, with coastline along four of the five Great Lakes‚ the origin of its name, mishigamaa, literally meaning "large lake" in Ojibwe - and the majestic Upper Peninsula featuring multiple state and national forests, snow sports, rugged coastline and more. And further north in the waters of Lake Superior, Isle Royale National Park provides a getaway unlike any other. For four beautiful seasons, a wealth of urban and rural attractions, and dynamic local economies, Michigan is an exceptional place to find your new home.
