Tree-lined streets and bike trails near Teal Lake in Negaunee
On the shores of Teal Lake, Negaunee is a former iron mining community about 10 miles west of Marquette. Its tree-lined streets are surrounded by lakes and bike trails in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, with large homes and spacious lots centered around a revitalized downtown district with a well-established history. "Negaunee is known as a family-oriented bedroom community with one of the better school districts in the UP," says Benjamin Argall, a broker and owner at NextHome Superior Living and a lifelong native of the area. "It’s more affordable than Marquette, so first-time homebuyers and young families are gradually moving here."

Local pasty shops and pubs serve classic UP comfort food
Downtown Negaunee revitalized the city center in 2024 through an enhancement project designed to attract local businesses and preserve historic buildings. "The city has been investing in their infrastructure, so the whole downtown looks fresh, clean and vibrant," Argall says. Negaunee’s primary grocery store is Super One Foods, and Jim’s Jubilee Foods IGA is in nearby Ishpeming. One of Negaunee's most popular dining establishments is the Jackson’s Pit Gourmet Grill & Bar, which serves specialty burgers, tacos and fried appetizers in a pub-style atmosphere. Iron Town Pasties is a popular counter-serve eatery known for its ice cream and gluten-free pasties. Pasties are an iconic culinary staple in the Upper Peninsula, brought to the area by Cornish miners in the 1840s. They typically include beef, veggies and potatoes in a flaky handheld bread pocket. "The pasty is basically a pot pie without gravy. Miners would heat it on a shovel, and it was easy to consume," Argall says. "I’m Cornish, and I still have my family's recipe."
