Alba, MI

Alba is a quiet rural community of roughly 300 residents in northern Michigan's Antrim County. Located along US-131 just north of Mancelona, the town got its start in the late 1800s as a railroad stop and has stayed small and peaceful ever since. Everyday life here is relaxed and centered around the outdoors, with state forest land, snowmobile trails, and the nearby Jordan River Valley right in the neighborhood. For anyone looking for true small-town quiet, plenty of space, and easy drives to regional hubs like Gaylord or Petoskey, Alba offers a simple up-north lifestyle.
