Michigan has two peninsulas – the Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula. The UP is famous for its natural wonders and mesmerizing beauty. The LOWER is famous for its mitten-shaped map.
Michigan is quite famous for its education system. It’s also the home of one of the most famous and highly regarded universities in the United States – The University of Michigan. If you plan to live in Michigan for good, University of Michigan will give you and your kids a lower-priced tuition fee, which allows you to save great amount of money on a top-rated university.
When it comes to foods and delicacies, Michigan is pretty amazing. In Detroit, you’ll be amazed by their world famous Coney dog. Coney dogs are pretty special and close to the heart of each and every Michiganders that you will come across. It’s something that you should try once you set your foot in Michigan, especially in Detroit.
The cold weather in Michigan is way colder than any other state in the country. It gets very very cold once the winter season hits so better be prepared for it. Invest in a good coat and winter boots so you can keep yourself warm during the winter seasons.
Homes and apartments in Michigan are really affordable. The decline in the population that happened between 2000 and 2010 contributed into the price fall. That along with the housing crisis that hit Detroit hard years ago left some kind of mark on the real estate market, thus resulting into lower prices of the homes.

I will never leave Boston, but I know a few people that have gone to Michigan over the years. Sounds like a great state.
Really great information about moving to Michigan – it’s funny though, I never ever thought to ever consider moving there. WAY TOOOOO cold in the winter! LOL!
I’m actually not a fan of coney dogs, lol. We do have some great beaches though.
My sister lives in Michigan. She always complains about the cold winters.
We already deal with the cold weather here in NY, but we cannot get a great Coney dog unless we go to NYC! I have friends in the Detroit area and have wanted to venture out to see them. If I hear of anyone moving to Michigan, I’ll be sure to pass along the information
I completely agree that Michigan has some incredible beer! It is a beautiful state and I can’t wait to explore it some more. I want to take a trip to the UP. I also had no idea Michigan was famous for it’s coneys. Thanks for sharing, we will definitely check it out. This post almost makes me want to move to Michigan 🙂

Can’t imagine living anywhere else! Thanks for the list 🙂
I love our coneys (maybe a little too much)! We really do have some beautiful scenery, beaches and lighthouses, I just wish winter was 2 months shorter! LOL.
You know I never think of Michigan as having beaches & lighthouses, but of course they’re right there on the shores of the lake. Nice post …
Michigan winters stink but our beaches and summer are simply glorious. I went to U of M for a semester but ended up graduating from Madonna.
I would want to move to Michigan just for a coney dog! Those things look so delicious!
You had me at beer, haha! But seriously, Michigan sounds like a great place to live in, especially after knowing that they have an awesome educational system. 🙂
This is so interesting! Those are enough reason to try and live in Michigan. I honestly don’t want to live my city but would love to visit places and taste foods on the list 🙂
How interesting! iw ould love to visit or try to live there someday! Looks like it has a lot to offer.
The school my youngest son went to was amazing. The black ice was awful though, I slipped on it twice and it scared me a LOT! Winters do get very cold there.
Sounds like a great place to live! Great selection of information here, you have highlighted some good points!
Great beer, beaches and light houses – sounds like an awesome place! Not sure if I could do the super cold winters though!
Truly, there’s plenty to love about Michigan. If you’re ever moving to that state, you’re going to enjoy all of these and more.
Michigan is lovely and it has a lot to offer people as well. I love that you mentioned the beaches, I’ve seen some of the beaches in Michigan and they don’t disappoint.
Michigan looks like a beautiful place to live. I know friends that are from there and they love it.
So many pretty sights to see at Michigan. Looks like a great place to visit
Wow! so many beautiful spots to visit. And Oh, i just drool on the food!!!
Every place boasts of its own beauty and treasures unique to that place. I have a cousin who grew up in Michigan and when he married, he moved to Florida. He says he misses his hometown so much and would grab at any opportunity to go back there to live and work.
Michigan is definitely beautiful. I have to debate the “colder than any other state” though. I think Minnesota has you beat!
Our winters are not as cold a MInnesota,or North Dakota. It doesn’t get to 15 below zero or more hardly ever. When it does it is a wind chill factor. The upper part of the lower pennisula’s winters feel warmer than the lower part of the lower penninsula because it isn’t damp cold. It is dry cold and feels warmer than the lower part of Michigan and we have very few days in the sub zero weather. I have lived in Michigan for 67 years and our winters are getting warmer and warmer with spotty snow in the lower part of the lower penninsula. when we get a lot of snow it doesn’t last. No matter where you live in Michigan you live no further 20 minutes from fresh water. We have hundreds of lakes to choose from to enjoy. Michigan is a beautiful state to live in. I have traveled all over United States and Michigan has beautiful country side, we just don’t have mountains or oceans. Proud to live in MIchigan!
