Lansing is the capital city of Michigan, neighboring one of the state’s most notable universities, Michigan State University. This institution’s sprawling campus borders Lansing to the east, and a hefty portion of the student population calls Lansing home, giving this city a college town vibe. Though Lansing is the state capital, rentals in the area are surprisingly affordable, offering apartments, condos, and houses.
Downtown Lansing is a charming historic district along Grand River, featuring must-visit historic sites like the Michigan State Capitol and overlooking shops, cafes, bars, and more along South Washington Square. Local entertainment options appeal to residents and visitors alike, such as the Cooley Law School Stadium, the proud home of the MiLB’s Lansing Lugnuts and the Impression 5 Science Center. Small businesses keep Lansing’s charm alive, so be sure to check out the Lansing Brewing Company on Shiawassee Street after you find your affordable apartment.
Outdoor adventure awaits in Lansing, from the Potter Park Zoo and Crego Park to Hawk Island Park and the Country Club of Lansing! Residents have easy access to Interstates 69, 96, and 496 and the Capital Region International Airport, so commuting and air travel is a breeze.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
