Welcome to Marine
City
Founded in 1834, historic Marine City is a
river-front community centrally located on the St. Clair and Belle Rivers.
Surrounded by natural beauty and a short distance from major markets, Marine
City is an excellent location to live, work, and play. The city is 15-minutes
east of I-94, via 26-Mile Road and is accessible from scenic M-29 running along
the river.
The city is linked to Canada by a car ferry
which makes it one of the three international crossings in St. Clair County.
The busy St. Clair River is the Great Lakes shipping route between Lake Erie
and Lake Huron and home to commercial fishing boats as well as pleasure craft.
Marine City has many buildings that date
from its early years. The Victorian architecture reflects the charm of a bygone
era. The city parks and sandy beach are inviting to all who stroll through the
streets of this lovely town.
There are twenty-one light industrial firms
in the City and three shopping areas. The Central Business District is situated
on the banks of the St. Clair River and is supported by a Downtown Development
authority. Neighboring communities include the cities of St. Clair, Algonac,

First Time Buyers >Inspection Contingencies
Many of today's purchase offers include a contingency clause that allows the buyers to hire a home inspector or professional expert to inspect the property. If there is a significant defect in the property, the buyer can cancel the contract without losing the earnest money deposit. Contingencies are excellent procedures that protects both the buyer and the seller.
The time period for inspection contingencies is negotiable. In most parts of the country, the buyers have about a week in which to cancel the contract if the structural inspection reveals a serious and consequential defect. The positive side to such contingencies is that the inspection usually addresses--and overcomes--the buyers' misgivings, and confirms their decision to move ahead with the purchase.
