As Lansing's oldest neighborhood and former home to REO Motor Car Company, REO Town has a fascinating history. The power plant's towering smokestacks, an icon of Lansing, nod to the district's industrial past, but today REO Town stands as a center of art, culture, and community-based commerce in the region. Enjoy poetry readings, live music, and comedy at The Robin Theatre, or take classes at REACH Studio Art Center.
As you walk around you'll spot various murals, products of local artistic expression and collaboration that represent REO Town's lively spirit. Scratch that thrifting itch at REO Town Marketplace, then grab a pint at the neighborhood bar or barbecue at the joint next door. And the best part? REO Town is still growing.
Involvement, engagement, or just simple appreciation.
REO Town is an involved community with perpetual opportunities to find your people. An insider secret? Pronounce it like “REO” instead of “R.E.O.”, and you’ll pass for a local.
