Nestled between Downtown Lansing and East Lansing, there's always something to do in Lansing's Eastside neighborhood. Surrounding the active strip of Michigan Avenue east of Sparrow Hospital, the Eastside combines bars, eclectic restaurants and affordable housing to create an urban, walkable environment. A diverse range of restaurants including El Oasis and Eastside Fish Fry bring in foodies from across the area, and Soup Spoon Café is known for its cozy brunch favorites.
Walking along Michigan Avenue on any given night, you're likely to hear music playing in the distance from The Avenue, The Green Door or Mac's Bar. Snag an apartment within walking distance of the bars, or settle down with affordable housing in areas like the Groesbeck Neighborhood, near several urban gardens. Vibrant nightlife and a number of young people making starter homes their own give the Eastside a dynamic, artistic vibe that can be described as none other than quintessentially Lansing.
Food, art and culture—oh my.
The Eastside is the ideal spot for those craving the city vibe who still want to get to know their neighbors. It’s the kind of community where familiar faces effortlessly become old friends.
