What’s better than East Lansing? Well, Downtown East Lansing, of course. This vibrant business district houses large portions of Michigan State University, including the MSU Museum, Beaumont Tower, and Spartan Stadium, the University’s football stadium for nearly a century.
The parts of Downtown that aren’t filled with student housing and university buildings are taken up by tree-lined residential streets, a busy commercial district, and incredible local amenities. Be sure to visit HopCat to get a taste of the trendiest pub in town. The restaurant even has modern loft rentals above it, perfect for living where the action is.
