Join the movement by finding your perfect rental in Downtown East Lansing, a premier college town in the heart of Michigan. Just minutes from Lansing, the state’s capital city, residents of East Landing have unbeatable access to the state’s best restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues.
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.

Rude and unhelpful
The leasing manager was extremely rude and unhelpful. They charge for time you are not living in the apartment. No pro ration for the month of move in. Great way to rip off college kids and their parents. I would steer clear of this place and their dishonest practices.

DO NOT LIVE HERE AT ALL COSTS
I would not want my worst enemy to stay at the gates. They do not have adequate parking for all residents, so I'm forced to walk 10 minutes just to get to my car. I have to pay forty dollars a month to be able to park my car 10 minutes from where I live, like that makes any sense whatsoever. The elevator does not work half the time, and I was even stuck in it for five minutes on numerous occasions. The wifi is basically not even working, and I am forced to result to using my hotspot for my computer half the time. They charge way too much money for how poor of an apartment this is. What ever you do, DO NOT LIVE HERE.

The Manor is actually trash
This place has the worst management of all time. The leasing people are so unorganized and unprofessional when it comes to communicating to the residents I don't understand how they are getting away with this.

HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT
My daughter rented from The Gates this past year and sublet to someone else for half of the time. We were misguided and misinformed by the management. The Leasing and Marketing Team Leader of The Gates told us over and over again that she would get the necessary paperwork from our subleaser. She never did and we are currently out over $2,000. He paid only partial payments to us throughout his 7 and half months and kept saying he would pay us. The Gates messed up by never following through and getting the necessary documentation from him. We live 4 hours away and is was not possible to do check in, other than by phone, when possible. We were assured by The Gates employee that she would take care of it and NOT TO WORRY. The Gates is at fault and I plan on pursuing this issue further with them. I actually did try to talk to upper management but had no luck. Now that I know we are unable to locate this person that owes us a lot of money, I will be involving The Gates once again in this horrible nightmare. This person who "helped" us no longer works at The Gates. My guess is that she was fired. Huh, I wonder why? Sadly, at our expense. Do not rent from The Gates!!!!!

Untrustworthy
person at the leasing office outright lied about everything involving the price and rates.

These apartments are only three years old and are in a great location for students wanting to be close to campus and downtown! Very high end apartments but, built with little effort. The management company will charge you for everything and anything it can. 4 bedroom/2 bath with no utilities included. Parking is terrible! Spend your money else where.
