Welcome to Lansing

Capitol building in Lansing Michigan

Situated in mid-Michigan, the capital city is a burgeoning hub of art, culture, and urban happenings, with an air of inclusivity. In Lansing, everyone is welcomed with open arms. 

A strong artistic presence emanates from each corner of Lansing: a hustle and bustle Downtown, galleries in Old Town, live music on the Eastside, authentic food options on the South Side, thrifting in REO Town, and historic homes on the Westside. Craving street tacos, ramen, or cajun? You name it and Lansing's got it, with plenty of food joints. The city has something for everyone beyond lunch hour too, from breweries to upscale cocktails and clubs. Affordable housing options, excellent public transit, and career options across a number of industries make for a unique, most-bang-for-your-buck city. 

Walk to the neighborhood coffee shop, drive to that brand new restaurant, or easily take the bus to a baseball game Downtown — getting to the good stuff is never a chore in Lansing. Twenty miles of river trail provide a scenic retreat, an abundance of parks offer natural recreation, and continual local events give residents the opportunity to get involved and make an impact in the city. Whether you're looking to grow personally or professionally, plant your roots and take advantage of the opportunities here in Lansing.

A city for the bold.
