• Bedrooms: 7
• Bathrooms: 3

Property Description:

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

Located at 1205 Ruby Ave, right next to Jim’s Foodmart, this recently remodeled house puts you within a 6-minute walk of MTU’s main campus. When you’re dragging yourself to an 8 am chem lab at Wadsworth Hall or dealing with a Keweenaw winter morning, you can walk to campus faster than most people can scrape ice off their windshield and find parking.

The location gets even better for daily life. Jim’s Foodmart is literally next door—you can grab a sandwich for study sessions in under two minutes or do a week’s worth of grocery shopping. Right next door is  Pearl Street Mall and offers a few great restaurant options like Rodeo Mexican Kitchen, Domino’s pizza, JJ’s Wok N Grill to name a few. Flagstar Bank is right there for handling errands between classes without wasting time.

With seven larger bedrooms and three full bathrooms, you’ve got space for a bigger group without the chaos. The sauna is perfect after walking back from campus in -20°F weather, and the 75″ tv screen makes game nights actually worth staying in for.
