If you’re on this list and you have a different area code, know that we love you just the same!).

And, if you don’t live here yet, we hope this list will inspire you (maybe even impress you) and help you imagine building your own tiny corner of the world right here in Lansing. We promise there’s a place for you, and we’d love for you to be our neighbor.
