About Durand

Durand is a relaxed, friendly community of about 3,500 residents in mid-Michigan. Famous for its deep roots as a rail hub, the town still embraces its nickname, "Railroad City, USA." Its centerpiece is the historic Durand Union Station, a grand stone depot that houses the state railroad museum and continues to operate as an active Amtrak stop. Between affordable neighborhoods, a quiet pace of day-to-day life, and easy drives to both Lansing and Flint, Durand is an appealing choice for anyone looking for classic small-town living with quick access to larger cities.
