Union City, MI
Area Guide
A charming small town split by the Saint Joseph River
Union City inhabits an incredible riverfront piece of landscape in southern Michigan just off State Route 60. This picturesque town retains a turn-of-the-century appearance thanks to its long-standing homes and well-preserved downtown district and Victorian architecture. Union City is a sleepy town, but there are a few local watering holes along Broadway Street including bars and cafes. Union Lake is just west of town and is a popular spot for fishing in the warmer months of the year. Union City’s relative seclusion is punctuated by its unique character, but all it takes is a short drive along the state routes and back roads that surround the town to be in any of the surrounding cities and towns.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
