I like that there are outskirts to Lansing where everyone can find their niche, yet the city center of Lansing can still bring all these communities together. With the exception of Michigan State University, not many young professionals live in Lansing so the downtown area is geared more toward middle-aged professionals working at the capitol building or the hospital.
I'm not familiar with the public schools, but the area does seem to have family-friendly activities and events to keep people of all ages entertained. It's affordable compared to many other cities and is a great sample of many diverse communities. Lansing doesn't have any great hiking areas and only a few lake areas to enjoy.

Lansing is an affordable city with plenty of options for food and entertainment. Near the campus of Michigan State University, there are lots of fun things to do!
Lansing is a very underrated city. It is incredibly diverse. There are a wealth of small businesses, outdoor activities, and communities to join and be a part of. I live on the Eastside, and every day I feel more and more blessed to live here. This little community that contains every religion, race, and political view out there, is the most supportive and welcoming place I have ever lived. Lansing has its downsides as it is the capital of the state, and everything that comes with that. But the good far outweighs the bad.
