A small city bordering Canada

On Canada’s doorstep, Marysville is a riverfront industrial city with about 9,900 residents. While it may seem remote, the community provides direct access to healthcare, retail, dining and Lake Huron. Top employers include an Interstate Polymer factory and an ethanol refinery that processes corn trucked in from the surrounding farmland. “Marysville has very easy access to the expressway, so a lot of people also commute to Detroit,” says Realtor Stefanie Distelrath, who sells homes in the city with Sine & Monaghan Realtors. But life in Marysville isn’t all about work; residents turn out each summer for a carnival and each fall for a homecoming parade.

Marysville is a tight-knit community located minutes from the US-Canada border.

Houses along the Saint Clair River

The median single-family home price is roughly $250,000, which is in line with the state median and well below the national median. “Currently, Marysville’s has a bit more inventory than the surrounding areas because there’s been new construction,” Distelrath says. On the city’s northwest corner, there is a new development of Contemporary-style homes that are priced from $375,000 to $415,000. Midcentury ranch styles and cottages along the Saint Clair River are priced from $240,000 to $550,000. Otherwise, prices range from roughly $120,000 for early 20th-century fixer-uppers to $450,000 for 1990s Contemporary styles. Manufactured homes are priced from $25,000 to $60,000. Various 1970s condos and apartments are priced from $60,000 to $160,000.

Commuting to Detroit

Henry Ford River District Hospital is about 15 minutes south of the city via Michigan 29. Commuters can take Interstate 94 less than an hour southwest to Detroit, which has the closest international airport. In Canada, the City of London is about an hour and a half east via Ontario Highway 402. “A lot of people get quick passes so they can cross over really easily,” Distelrath says. “I’ve actually sold to people who work in Canada.”

According to FBI data, Marysville’s violent and property crime rates are below state and national averages. Since 2020, instances of violent and property crime have increased.
