Union Pier, MI, located in the Harbor Country® community, has morphed from a shipping pier used to transport timber to Chicago into a tourism hub as people flock to the lakeshore community to enjoy its natural beauty and small-town charm. From antique shops and galleries lining the historic downtown to the lovingly restored resorts along the lakefront, the community is a beautiful place to live.










Union Pier is unique in that it has a number of seasonal residents. The permanent population is around 570, although there are over 1,000 total homes in the community. Many homes here are vacation rentals, rather than owner occupied. Whether you are buying a home for yourself or to serve as an investment, you will find a number of property types available, including both condos and single-family homes. Many of the homes capture the lakefront cottage ambiance with sprawling front porches and gabled roofs. The lakefront location between Lake Michigan and the Galienn River means many pieces of Union Pier real estate have waterfront views. Browse the latest real estate listings in Union Pier, MI.
