This single-floor unit offers a functional and comfortable layout spread across several well-defined living spaces. The galley-style kitchen is efficiently designed with light wood cabinetry lining both sides, ample counter space, and a full suite of white appliances including a refrigerator, electric range, built-in microwave, and a double basin sink. Stone-patterned tile flooring adds durability and visual interest underfoot. The living area is generously sized, featuring soft wall-to-wall carpeting, a baseboard heating unit, and a large sliding glass door dressed with vertical blinds that invites an abundance of natural light and provides outdoor access. A decorative pendant light and wainscoting detail lend the space a touch of character. The bedrooms are carpeted and well-proportioned, each equipped with ceiling fans and dedicated closet space. Natural light filters in through windows fitted with vertical blinds, and baseboard heaters ensure year-round comfort. The bathroom is clean and bright, finished with a white vanity featuring a single sink, a large mirrored medicine cabinet, a multi-bulb vanity light fixture, and a tub-shower combination enclosed by a decorative curtain. Mosaic tile flooring and light blue walls contribute to a fresh, airy atmosphere throughout the space.

East Lansing is defined by Michigan State University in a way few college towns can claim — MSU is not just nearby, it is woven into the city's identity, economy, and daily rhythm. Sitting directly east of Lansing, Michigan's state capital, the city of roughly 48,000 draws students, researchers, and residents who want a walkable core paired with easy access to a major metro area. The W.J. Beal Botanical Garden, established in 1873 as the nation's oldest continuously operated university botanical garden, and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum give the city genuine cultural anchors beyond game-day energy at Spartan Stadium.
Neighborhoods range from the walkable downtown corridor along Grand River Avenue to the tree-lined streets of Chesterfield Hills and the residential calm of the Bailey area near Valley Court Park. Housing runs the range from high-density apartment communities close to campus to quieter complexes farther out along Lake Lansing Road.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
