The Flats at Front + Union are located at 100 E Front Street, Traverse City, MI 49684.

We provide one free parking space on site per Flat. The parking lot is on the south side of the building and is accessed through the alley behind the building.
Be Aware: This is city parking in a busy lot, we kindly request everyone to be mindful of their surroundings and exercise caution while maneuvering their vehicles. The limited space and high volume of vehicles demand extra awareness and consideration for fellow drivers.
To ensure efficient use of parking spaces, owners of extended cabs, vehicles with accessories, and racks that extend from the vehicle need to find alternative parking accommodations in the city’s two nearby parking garages.
Do not park in any of the other spaces. Additional parking is available at the Old Town Parking Garage or Hardy Parking Garage. Both are a 7 min walk.
