Property Description:

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

Located at 1125 E. Houghton Ave, this large house puts you within a 10-minute walk of MTU’s main campus. When you’re dragging yourself to class or the weather turns brutal during a Keweenaw winter, you can walk to Memorial Union Building without needing to warm up your car.

The location gets even better for daily life. Jim’s Foodmart is on the same block—literally steps away for grocery runs. Pearl Street Mall gives you a few restaurant options for catching up with friends and family. Not to mention Flagstar Bank being close means you can knock out errands between classes without adding a drive to your day.

This is the kind of location that matters when you’re juggling classes and sports. With five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, you’ve got space for a bigger group without fighting over the shower before classes, and everything you actually need is within walking distance.
