Local life in North Branch

North Branch was first settled in 1854 and incorporated as a village in 1881, when it had about 900 residents; it has roughly 1,100 today. The core is small and walkable, and the surrounding township is farmland and woodland in every direction.

This is consistently one of the most affordable places to buy in Lapeer County, and lot sizes are generous even by local standards. The trade-off is straightforward — you are further from everything, and you should want that. Buyers looking for land, shop space or room for animals do well here.

North Branch Area Schools serves the village and township. For commuting, M-90 runs east and M-24 heads south into Lapeer in about 20 minutes, where I-69 picks up.
