Anchored by Michigan Technological University, 49931 (Houghton) blends a friendly college-town vibe with wild Lake Superior scenery. Winters are long and snowy—perfect for Nordic skiing on the Tech Trails, fat biking, and snowshoeing—while summers bring waterfront strolls on the Houghton Waterfront Trail, paddling on Portage Lake, and boardwalks at Nara Nature Park. The iconic Portage Lake Lift Bridge, copper-mining heritage, and Finnish flavors (Suomi, Roy’s Pasties) set the tone; coffee spots like Cyberia and 5th & Elm, the Keweenaw Brewing Company taproom, and downtown eateries add a relaxed dining scene. Groceries and everyday needs are easy at Super One or Walmart, with fitness at MTU’s SDC and family- and pet-friendly play at Kestner Waterfront Park’s “Chutes and Ladders.” According to Zillow Rental Manager market trends, recent median asking rent is around the mid-$1,400s, with most listings over the past few months ranging roughly $900–$2,000+, varying by size and proximity to campus and the water.

Local university presence adds vibrancy, events, and youthful energy.
