Your Guide to Moving in Lansing, Michigan
Lansing is Michigan's state capital and the center of a metro area of roughly half a million people. Michigan State University — one of the largest universities in the country — sits in neighboring East Lansing and is the region's largest employer, contributing a college-town vibrancy to the area. State government offices employ thousands of workers downtown and throughout the metro. The GM Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant continues the city's automotive manufacturing legacy. Downtown Lansing has seen steady reinvestment, with the REO Town district, the Stadium District around Jackson Field (home of the Lansing Lugnuts), and the River Trail along the Grand River creating an increasingly appealing urban core. Neighborhoods vary from the established tree-lined streets of the Westside and Colonial Village to the diverse Eastside and the suburban feel of Delta Township and Holt to the south. The Lansing School District serves the city, while East Lansing and surrounding townships have their own highly regarded districts. Housing prices are among the most affordable for a state capital — the median home price is well below the national average. The city's central location in Michigan puts it within 90 minutes of Grand Rapids, Detroit, and the Lake Michigan shoreline. Lansing's food scene has grown considerably, with notable spots along Michigan Avenue and in the Old Town neighborhood.
