About South Range
South Range is a quiet village of around 750 people tucked into Michigan's Upper Peninsula, sitting just five miles southwest of Houghton along Highway M-26. Founded during the copper mining boom in the early 1900s, the community retains a friendly, close-knit neighborhood feel. Living here offers a slower pace of life while keeping you an easy ten-minute drive from the shopping, dining, and job opportunities around Michigan Tech and the Houghton waterfront.
Day-to-day life centers around the outdoors and neighborhood gathering spots. Residents make good use of the South Range Community Park and Veterans Memorial Park, while year-round multi-use trails run right through town for easy snowmobiling, biking, and hiking. With its quiet streets, accessible housing, and Lake Superior just a short drive away, South Range makes a great home base for anyone looking to settle into the Copper Country.
