In the Middle of Everything!

Welcome to the City of Alma That's Alma! The wonder and beauty of the great State of Michigan is easily accessible from Alma. 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
