Property Description:

Managed by Copper Country Rentals – serving MTU students for over 40 years (since June 1983)

Located at 1117 E. Houghton Ave, this house puts you within a 10-minute walk of MTU’s main campus. When lake-effect snow hits during Winter Carnival week or you’re racing to make an 8am chem lab at Wadsworth Hall, you can actually walk instead of scraping ice off your car windshield at 7:30am.

The location gets even better for daily life. Jim’s Foodmart is practically next door for those late-night snack runs when you’re deep into study mode. Pearl Street Mall offers food options like Domino’s, Rodeo Mexican Kitchen, and JJ’s Wok N Grill to curb your hunger. Flagstar Bank nearby means you can easily get money between classes without fighting for parking downtown.

This is the kind of location that matters when you’re juggling classes, labs, and trying to have a life. You’re close enough that walking to campus works year-round, even during winter, and you’ve got real conveniences within walking distance, so you’re not car-dependent for basic errands.
