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.

I really enjoy exploring Lansing, MI. I may be biased because I went to Lansing Community College, a college within the downtown area. Lansing has great restaurants, my favorite being the Lansing Brewery. I also enjoy the coffee shops downtown such as Gipson's. There are so many family-friendly museums and attractions Lansing offers such as the R.E. Olds Museum, Impressions 5 Science Center, Michigan History Museum, Potter Park Zoo, and Michigan History Center. As one who does not drive, I appreciate the amazing public transportation. Some bus routes are free! Many locations are conveniently close and I can easily bus there. I also enjoy walking around the State Capital and reading on its history. Someday I hope to work at the Capital in Video Production. Although many places are great in Lansing, there are some areas not safe to walk alone at night (like the southern area). Overall, being in Lansing has been a wonderful experience.
I love little old Lansing, Michigan. Everyone know's everyone, if your related to the "Jones" we know your whole family! Lansing is a place where you have no worries. Lansing is a beautiful city and I love it!
