Dodgeville, MI

Dodgeville is a quiet, tight-knit residential pocket located just a couple of miles south of Houghton in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Home to around 400 people, it sits right at the base of the Keweenaw Peninsula, surrounded by thick northern woods and historic Copper Country terrain. Living here gives residents a relaxed, wooded setting while keeping them only minutes away from Michigan Technological University, local grocery stores, and dining along Portage Lake.

The area originally developed around the Dodge Copper Mine in 1901 and has since grown into a peaceful residential neighborhood. Paved roads wind through scenic forest and former mining ground, offering plenty of privacy and easy access to year-round outdoor recreation. With extensive snowmobile and hiking trails right outside your door and downtown Houghton practically next door, Dodgeville provides a convenient, low-key spot to settle down in the Keweenaw.
