In the Middle of Everything!

We are located where M46 and US127 come together in the middle of the state. Alma’s a great place to live and raise a family. We are proud of our quaint, walkable downtown that continues to improve with new restaurants, shops and apartments. Being the home of the Alma College Scots, we provide opportunities for the arts and culture that rival much larger cities. Come and see how nice it can be to be living in the #inthemiddleofeverything #almami
