No. Hemlock Park lots are single family lots that you can design and build your home on; you own the land and your home.

Site Condominiums are composed of single-family homes and look like a typical subdivision; however, they are governed by sets of rules and a Homeowner’s Association (HOA).

Hemlock Park is a Site Condominium Community, meaning that as a resident of Hemlock Park you own your home site and also have a shared interest in the remaining 13+ acres of the property. This additional land will be designated as a wooded conservation preserve that cannot be further developed.

A nonprofit corporation made up of every lot owner in Hemlock Park, along with a board of directors, who set and uphold rules, conditions, covenants and restrictions for all properties. They also maintain the common element areas and ensure the community runs smoothly. All members of Hemlock Park will pay HOA dues.

Dues for Hemlock Park will be paid quarterly. The 2024-2025 Budget has quarterly dues at $117.83. (Annually this would be $471.31)

The sites are set up with all utility hookups at the curb cut, allowing them to be brought onto your site easily. All utilities will be underground including electricity from the Marquette Board of Light and Power and high-speed fiber optic cable. Water and sewer are through the City of Marquette.

No. Hemlock Drive and Nuthatch Lane will be owned by the City of Marquette who will be responsible for plowing and maintaining them.

You will have three (3) years from the closing date of your lot to start construction on your home.

Once construction is started, you have one (1) year to complete it.

Once construction is completed, you have one (1) year to complete landscaping.

One of the roads at Hemlock Park is called Nuthatch Lane named after both the white-breasted and red-breasted Nuthatch birds who are native to the Upper Peninsula. Nuthatches are friendly, active, agile birds known for jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark and using their bills to “hatch” the seeds. They are also the only bird species in North America that can walk headfirst down a tree!

While red-breasted Nuthatches migrate, the white-breasted Nuthatches stay year-round. Nuthatches symbolize many things including resourcefulness, adaptability, persistence, courage, playfulness, harmony, and transformation.

Hemlock Park will also offer Freewheel, a 39-unit apartment rental option, breaking ground this Fall. Freewheel will not be a part of the Site Condominium and will be owned separately. 

Freewheel will offer quality, upscale one- and two-bedroom suites and include amenities such as underground parking, plentiful storage, bike repair station, and pet friendly features.
