Local life in Marlette
Marlette is known as the "heart of the Thumb" for its position near the center of the peninsula, and it serves as a small commercial hub for the farming country around it.
The market is farmland, acreage and affordable small-town homes. Prices are among the lowest in the area covered here, and land is the usual reason people look — room for equipment, animals or simply distance from neighbours.
It is roughly 40 minutes east-northeast of Lapeer via M-53 and M-90, at the eastern edge of the area. Worth being realistic about the drive if your work is in Lapeer or Flint every day.
