Menominee, MI

1 Apartments for Rent

Menominee attained its name from a regional Native American tribe that previously inhabited the area. Menominee in English means "wild rice," so it's relatively easy to figure out what the staple diet was in the vicinity back then.

The city of "wild rice," together with its 9,000 inhabitants, resides in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Though there's plenty of rental housing within the city, you'll find that there is in fact something of a shortage of apartments and condos. All the same, there's a whole lot to do in this little buzzing town, and the views over Green Bay are to die for! Not literally, of course!

Moving to Menominee

There's many sorts of rental accommodations to be had in Menominee. As such, you can probably start your search within four weeks or so of your relocation date. The best times to find a place are Monday through Friday when the realtors are at work, but do try to avoid the hours around lunch time as they'll not be too keen on missing out on the quintessential sandwiches and coffee.

Folks who are looking to rent in the area should bring the equivalent of one month's rental for a deposit, in addition to a month's rent up-front. Further, references may be a requirement for some landlords, but certainly not all. And finally, proof of current income and employment is normally required, though again, some prospective landlords may not require that, providing you flash the cash straight off the bat.
