City of Lapeer

Within an easy commute to metropolitan Genesee and Oakland Counties, Lapeer has become a commuter’s paradise.

Our commercial center along Nepessing Street endures as our Central Business District which is adorned with brick flowerbeds featuring cupolas from the early 20th century.  The cupolas once graced the Oakdale Center for Developmental Disabilities (first known as Lapeer State Home & Training School) an institution that was the area’s largest employer from 1895 until its closing in 1991. 

Adjacent to downtown are neighborhoods of early homes, churches, and community buildings dubbed as Piety Hill.  Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Piety Hill is a favorite driving and walking tour for residents and visitors alike.

You will also enjoy our park system featuring plenty of picnic areas, tennis courts, playgrounds, and ball diamonds.  When ready for a good book or to research our community’s history, our Lapeer District Library serves residents throughout the county.

For a brief stay or for settling down for family generations, we invite you to our community for shopping, small-town living, and a balanced blend of cultural, historical, and recreational attributes.
