Adjacent to the city of Lansing, Michigan’s capital city, East Lansing is a vibrant college town where diversity and education is treasured. But this city isn’t just for college students and faculty! With sports stadiums, live entertainment venues, museums, local restaurants, and family-friendly neighborhoods, what’s not to like?
The city’s greatest attraction is Michigan State University, and not just for its beautiful campus, but for its big-time attractions like Spartan Stadium, the MSU Museum, and the Wharton Center for Performing Arts. And to top it off education-wise, East Lansing is home to East Lansing Public Schools, which are notoriously high-ranking. Locals appreciate the abundance of parks, including John M. Patriarch Park, a beautiful green space boasting athletic fields and a large playground.
Venture into nearby Lansing for local treasures like the Potter Park Zoo, the Michigan State Capitol, and the beautiful views of Grand River.

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.

Property Ratings at Homestead Apartments
Homestead has been my home for five years. I opted for a ground-level, one-bedroom unit, and loved it. From my window, I had a direct view of a small pond with fountain. Having heat and covered parking included in the rent were huge perks in the winter. The maintenance and office staff were attentive. I chose Homestead because I was near enough to campus to not have to worry about long commutes in the winter, but far enough way that I couldn’t see/hear it out my window. Being on the bus line also gave me the option of not having to pay for campus parking permits (nor having to circle campus lots looking for a spot). It really has been a great place to live while in grad school.
I love my house, Homestead. This is quite place and naturally friendly. We have good neighbors. Especially, heating is free, so we don't have to pay heavy gas fee in winter! I was from Hawaii, so I hate cold lol. Also, we have fitness center, valley ball court. Furthermore, managers are incredibley kind. I alway thank for them. One of the reasons I love my house is the location. Near by Meijer, Eastwood mall. I alway watch movies in Eastwood mall. I takes just 5min. I strongly recommend my house!
So, when you move to East Lansing (assuming you are/going to attend MSU), nobody tells you that DTN owns the majority of the properties in the area. That being said, the management systems are not personal, they treat people like numbers, and have people in an out of the offices all the time. Good, quiet locations are a hit or miss. If you are a grad student like myself, you value quiet, and depending on the "popular" complex for the year, you could end up with anyone. When I came apartment shopping, I purposely looked for something non-DTN and found Homestead Apts. It's right on the bus line, and pushed back far enough so people can't wander into it - but the leasing office is still visible from the street. The apartments are nice and spacious, and the property managers really work with you and know everyone personally. When my student refund check was late getting in, they gave me extra time (a courtesy for being consistently punctual) to get it in. They know my car, and look out for my packages. I get free heat in the winter, since they cover gas, water and sewage. You also get covered parking. The only thing I dont like about my place (I love it) is that I live on the ground floor, so more bugs than a second or third level. Also, the air conditioners are older, as well as the stove. They work perfectly fine, but how much could you really ask to pay? My rent is super affordable for the space and I've convinced 2 of my classmates to sign leases here for this school year. I will be here until I graduate.
The place is quiet and is very close to amenities. Good connectivity with Cata bus services as well to MSU. Close to the Northern tier trail which is great for walking/jogging. Appartment itself is spacious and has a balcony as well. Kitchen appliances are little old but work. Service here is prompt and have nothing to complain about.
