Living in Michigan

Michigan isn't just a great place to work and do business, it's about a lifestyle that offers everything from urban excitement to the great outdoors. Few other states offer the geographical diversity and range of activities for people seeking an active, adventurous lifestyle. The state’s two peninsulas are surrounded by four Great Lakes, boasting more freshwater shoreline than anywhere else in the nation. Add that to our four distinct seasons and you'll find endless ways to experience the wonder that is Pure Michigan. Explore popular resident services below.
