Current Resident: Haslett has been the perfect town to live in. It is close to major stores, MSU, and many exciting things but Haslett is really good at keeping all of the secluded from homes. When Im at my house I feel like I am in awhile different world versus when I am out shopping and having a good time. There are many big name restaurants around but there is also a goos amount of small family restaurants that are just as good (if not better) than the big restaurant chains. I think my favorite part about Haslett though is Lake Lansing Parks. Lake Lansing South has the big beautiful lake, an amazing playground for kids and it has so much green grass that you can use for picnics, laying in, or playing games like football. Lake Lansing north has another amazing playground, some softball/baseball fields, and stunning walking trails. I would 100% recommend Haslett to anyone, young families, college students, working families and even senior citizens. This town has showed me what I want for my home life.... Read 48 reviews

Current Resident: I loved the college atmosphere in East Lansing while I attending Michigan State University! My studies were challenging but engaging. The night life and tailgates made every weekend worth staying instead of traveling home. The commute time was never bad as East Lansing is based around Michigan State University. I wouldn't rate this as the most family friendly town, simply because college students can get loud and rowdy! However, there are some cute suburb neighborhoods for families who want to live in the area. Housing could be a little expensive due to the extent of college students in the area. Overall, I wouldn't change a thing about my time in East Lansing.... Read 224 reviews

Niche User: Where I used to live had a great community and school atmosphere. the local school system was based right in the center of the community and it always brought everyone in the community together. The community also is not that far from the main strip of town where the mall, restaurants, and local businesses are located. I would live in a community like this once I developed a family because it is a great area to raise kids. I would rank this in the middle of this compared to other communities in the country It's not the best of the best when it comes to communities, but its a great place to start and raise a family....

Current Resident: Having both sides of my family grow up in Williamston, I am very familiar with the community and enjoy living here. I have always felt safe as a woman growing up here and enjoyed walking around town as a 6th grader without concerns. It is a tight-knit community with excellent education and sports. However, I feel there are opportunities for improvement as far as diversity and acceptance. The town is predominantly white and has had controversy in the past regarding LGBTQ+ policies....

Current Resident: I like living in Holt because I had found people to be nice and the community is great. I like living close to the Holt Delhi library because it makes it easy to get resources. I like being able to go there if I need to find a book or if I need to use their computers or if I simply just need a quiet place to do my homework and study for a quiz or test.

Current Resident: I love the town of Dimondale! It is a very safe and quiet area where not much goes on at. I feel at home when I am in Dimondale and I would not want to live anywhere else. The houses have a big yard and aren't typically close to each other. The town has nice restaurants and a very yummy ice cream shop. I grew up here my whole life. I have meant some very amazing people around the area as well. It also has an elementary school which is very well put together and I recommend any child to go there.... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: There is a lot to do in Saint Johns, this brings in kids from all the surrounding schools like Ovid-Elsie, Fowler, and PW. There are plenty of places to sit down and eat with your family, kids can go and play at the park by the high school. It's a huge playground with lots of activities for kids to do. There are also a lot of job opportunities for high school students and adults. With the new cheese factory, there are plenty of job opportunities. My overall experience has been great, I live in a great neighborhood and have made a lot of friends. They are some of my most cherished friendships because we are all like siblings....

Current Resident: Quiet town with virtually no crime. School of choice Perry, Webberville, and Williamston. While there are no stores in the town itself the drive isn't far to reach shopping areas. A 15 minute drive will put you in downtown Lansing. It can be difficult to buy a home since most residence are life long. The township has ordnances in place to prevent crowded housing. I believe the smallest plot of land you can build a home on is 5 acres. Nightlife is wonderful for star gazers with very little interference from light pollution.... Read 4 reviews

Works Here: Charlotte is a small town in easy commute range of Lansing, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor. They are part of the National Main Street program, so they have a lot of historic buildings, almost no business vacancies downtown, many sit-down restaurants, and over 20 festivals/events each year. Historically, Charlotte has been considered rural, conservative, and blue collar. It's becoming a great go-to place for young professionals who want to buy an affordable house in a nice, walkable community. Downside - City Government is afraid to commit to trails, making people maintain their properties, and getting streets fixed. They have been stung by long-term residents, and they are afraid to do more scientific outreach to balance the loud voices. It seems to be to tipping toward improvements, but still unsure. Lots of opportunity here.... Read 26 reviews
