i sincerely dislike everything abt this channel. i understand he's doing a job he's doing this for money not for malice, but oh my god the cost of everything here is already so high so PLEASE don't even consider moving up here. if you wanna be by lake superior so bad go to minnesota where the economy won't implode with an addition of 5 more people.
I can tell you my little channel isn’t bringing people in! People are already moving here and looking for information on the area! It’s a beautiful place, but it’s not a place for everyone as I point out in the channel. Thanks for watching!
To raise a family up north does such a dis justice. these kids are at a disadvantage to being raised down below. Most have no idea what is available as far as jobs go. Most are raised on welfare or very low income so they grow up thinking that is normal. If anyone is thinking of raising a family up north in a small town think twice. I was raised up north and shocked when I moved away I got lucky.
I appreciate the comment, but will have to respectfully disagree. I was around many that had the opposite experience. But yes, both situations are totally possible
Hello. Glad to find your channel. I'm looking to buy a small home with a big piece of private land or just some raw land. 40-80 acres. Year round accessible/liivable. It's been a dream of mine to have a big piece of property in the wilderness. I am retired. I've been researching the Marquette area for a while now. Looking down around Crystal Falls and Gwinn. I've never been so I am open. Are there any good areas you'd recommend down outside of Traverse City for land and/or a small cabin? Would be grateful for some guidance. I'm planning to come up this fall and camp and explore for a few weeks. Look at some homes and property. Thanks so much.
Marquette is lovely. It is the perfect locale for the active person. Trails for hiking and biking and cross country skiing, trout fishing in the rivers, hunting, climbing, etc.
I moved back to this area a couple of years ago. But not because of affordability. Gas prices are higher here than most of the midwest. Health care is terrible. I travel 5.5 hrs for my heart health. The city of Marquette home cost and rental compete with rent prices in major city of the USA. And wages as you covered are lower. I lived in Minot North Dakota for a decade. Utility prices were way more affordable out there. Ya this area isn't really affordable. You don't live here because of affordability and job opportunities. You live here because this area has many outdoor opportunities.
I am a veteran looking to move to either Marquette or Traverse City MI within the next 3-6 months. Your videos are amazing, and I am so happy I have subscribed to your channel. One thing that is important to me is the healthcare for my disabilities. Marquette would be my number one choice, but I hear horror stories of the local hospital. Could you provide any additional insight on this? Also, I do have your contact information for when the moving time draws nearer.
Your best bet would be to contact the hospitals or search for whatever specialty care you may need. Not everyone’s experience is terrible and not everyone has to commute to get attention for their specialty care.
Ya, health care is terrible. I travel to Midland Michigan for my heart health issues. UP Health Care really dropped the ball on my heart issue. I heard the health care was bad in Marquette when I was considering moving back. I found our first had it as bad as I had heard. Most jobs up here are in the service industries. Stores, restaurants, hotels, etc. So, as an employee, money isn't great. There are some opportunities for entrepreneurs, I believe.But the outdoor opportunities are incredible. Hunting, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, atvs, biking, boating, hiking, foraging, and so on and so forth.
Thunder Bay , snowmobiling , ride the Luge , 18 miles of one way trails , you can FLY ! 9200 acre pine tree plantation at the end of the trail before you head for Munising , nice place to powder ride for the long track guys
Longest state to drive corner to corner , 900 plus miles , from the bottom eastern side of the lower peninsula , to the western side of the U.P. And the U.P. Has 1700 miles of coast line , the whole east coast has about 2000
Also becoming like traverse city. I lived away in San Diego of course came home. It’s sad to see Marquette turning into traverse city. Where the condos are now and hotels used to be little hidden beaches and trees. When you came home from traveling you could see beautiful Lake Superior. And you would say to yourself, I am home. Now it’s blocked by ugly hotels and condos. A liberal nightmare too.
Also, good luck finding work able to afford the rent in Marquette lately. Luckily I rent from family or we couldn't do it. It's quickly becoming unaffordable for the common. The service industry will continue to suffer. Don't be mad at anybody of service for being overworked and grumpy. Most of them are doing the job of two to three people.
Traverse City is closer to the real world and swells with people from don below & out of state in the summer .Marquette is far far north .Although plenty of the usual northern Michigan nonsense like the bottle drugs ,wilfull stupidity , bad schools, guns , incest , laziness ,militia ,conformity but still has an exciting frontier quality
@@LivingInMarquetteMichigan People do the same thing about NJ. January by far is the only month here where the winter is brutally cold, then it tapers off to cold the rest of the way. A guy I met from there admitted NJ in January is comparable to where he was from. I told him of course! How else do you think the Giants won in Green Bay to go to the Superbowl that year. Giants practiced in that horrible cold here in NJ/NY to get acclimated to the tundra! Up there though you get four to 6 months of brutal COLD!!! Then it tapers off to cold.. One month here of that kind of cold is enough for me.
@@russmode Another mistake is coming to NYC in January the cold air is damp. It isn't dry air cold. It never is because of being by the ocean. Same for Marquette. All you have is lake superior. No mountains, trees, hills. No protection from brutally cold damp air from the north. Boston Massachusetts winters are pretty harsh too. More so Than NYC. Clearly still not as bad as Marquette.
Im thinking of moving there im in my late 20s and single so I cant imagine it would be terribly hard for me. I just want to get away from LP but I dont want to live outside of Michigan. Greatest state in the Union. Im a blue collar kid so if i can land a job along those lines i think id be okay.
Suggestion: Step about 2 feet back from the camera. Your face takes the whole screen, and if you are watching in a 55-inch tv, you take the whole living room.
I have never been to Marquette. I really can’t travel at this point in my life. But I’ve never liked where I live. I did research for the better part of a decade of places all around America that I may want to move to excluding where I already live. And Marquette has made it to my top 5. Some of the politics and laws in Michigan I am not much a fan of which is why it’s not my number one destination but I like it so much I think I’d be willing to put up with the politics I dislike. It’s just such a beautiful place. I ironically found it on google earth. I sometimes go on there and look at towns around the country. I was curious about Michigan’s upper peninsula and discovered it. I don’t hear anyone ever talk about Marquette. I feel like it is a hidden gem. Someday I would love to buy a large plot of land preferably on the lake. I hope it stays a hidden gem because right now land is relatively reasonable up there. But it won’t be if a bunch of people start flocking there so I’m sorry that people are leaving but this kinda makes me happy to hear as hopefully I can afford to move there someday! It’s truly one of the prettiest places I’ve seen in the US!
I appreciate the comment! Typically it's best to comment after watching the whole video though, I talked about that at the end! I'm curious though, what do you consider "the wealthy?"
The way i figure it, and why i am looking at moving there, is because itll jever really grow even with people moving there because of how severe the winters are. It acts as a filter.
What restaurants are you looking for? I mean there are restaurants, just depends what you’re looking for! No Home Depot is correct, but there is a Lowe’s and Menards
Its about 300% more expensive than 25 years ago. The snow is way less than 25 years ago. Very limited regarding decent paying jobs. Marquette County is HUGE. Referring to Marquette Michigan should only be referring the the city of Marquette. Including cities that are 30 miles away is odd.
What city would you have to go to for specialized health care if Marquette doesn't have it? seems like you would have to travel a crazy long time for any other bigger city.
It’s not that they don’t have ANY specialized healthcare, they do have some. It just depends on what you may be dealing with on where you’d need to go. Some haven’t had to go anywhere ever. Bigger cities like Green Bay or Milwaukee have options.
I was born and raised in Marquette. I graduated from NMU with a welding certificate and an associate's degree in welding technology. I had to move since there aren't any welding jobs like production work, but I visit my family and friends on the weekends. There are the union halls and I signed up to start work for the Iron Workers of Local 8. My main goal get my journeyman card, get married, and live in Ishpeming or Negaunee. It's nice to have someone who knows the area of Marquette and to shed some more light on the town.
I live on the Space Coast of Florida. People moving to the area are killing what made the area wonderful. I hope that doesn't happen to you. We also lived in Woods Hole, MA. They were able to avoid the development (franchise free!😀) but it's still the take off point to Martha's Vineyard.
