Welcome to Okemos

Okemos

Head 20 minutes east of Lansing and you'll find the suburban community of Okemos. Strong public schools, a reputable health system, and peaceful neighborhoods render Okemos a wonderful place to raise a family. 

The city's proximity to both Michigan State University and Lansing makes joining the hustle and bustle a breeze, but there's plenty to keep you busy without leaving. Its growing downtown and the Meridian Mall are active outlets for shopping and entertainment – catch a movie then grab a bite at one of the surrounding restaurants. Okemos offers a variety of upscale eateries, as well, such as Italian, farm-to-table, and a bistro wine cellar. 

A diverse array of mid-scale restaurants will you keep you satisfied no matter what cuisine you're craving. Throughout Okemos, you'll enjoy many parks when you need a moment of contemplation and natural reconnection.

Suburban tranquility in an excellent location.

Why choose between a sprawling yard and the urban happenings of Lansing when you can easily have both? In Okemos, you’re moments away from the action.
