Trowbridge Park offers nature trails and convenient shopping
Arguably one of the most popular places to live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Trowbridge Park is an outer suburb of Marquette, known for its rocky shores and lighthouses on Lake Superior. About 3 miles west of downtown, this community has a suburban atmosphere with single-family homes surrounded by scenic nature trails and convenient shopping centers. "It's an amazing place, and I wouldn't hesitate to move there," says Jason Copeman, a broker associate at Copeman Realty who has sold houses in Marquette for over 30 years. "There are all sorts of walking trails and biking trails. You are five minutes from the movie theater and the Dead River waterfalls."
Trowbridge Park offers space, quiet streets, and quick highway connections.

Secluded homes sit on spacious wooded lots
In Trowbridge Park, secluded houses rest on spacious lots under a canopy of mature deciduous forests and balsam firs. This area mainly includes a collection of contemporary and ranch-style homes, ranging from $120,000 to $530,000. Prices are slightly higher in Trowbridge Park compared to the Marquette metro because of its convenient and accessible location. "Trowbridge Park is more wooded and has more space," Copeman says. "It has a slightly different feel. There are not a lot of sidewalks, but the traffic is not heavy, so people can bike and walk their dogs."
Because of Marquette's geography, this area is one of the snowiest in the United States, receiving nearly 150 inches of snow each year. It also experiences below-freezing temperatures, with average winter lows in the single digits.

Also nearby, a shady walking trail leads to Wright Street Falls, which has waterfalls on the Dead River. "People can go hiking up and down the Dead River Falls," Copeman says. "It's the most beautiful falls hike that I know of. It is a series of falls one after another. You can easily ride a bike there."
