Arts District Homes for Sale

Locals often call Jackson’s Arts District “Fairgrounds,” a nod to the neighborhood’s anchor, James J. Keeley Park, which hosts the Jackson County Fair and other events throughout the year. It’s a place where the city's industrial history has been creatively reimagined: the old Michigan State Prison is now the Armory Arts Apartments, and a former carriage factory has been transformed into ART 634, a hub for galleries and events. The residential streets offer a mix of character-rich architecture, from American Foursquares and Dutch Colonials to modest bungalows. Residents looking to enjoy the outdoors can take a stroll along the Arts Armory Walk, a scenic path along the Grand River that leads to downtown and Lions Park. While dining options inside the neighborhood are light—Greystone Tavern and Keyes Produce are the go-to spots—downtown Jackson and the Jackson Crossing shopping center are just a quick 2-mile trip. Jackson High School serves the area and is highly rated. Transportation is facilitated by shuttle buses during events, local bus routes, and nearby highways leading to Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Detroit. Amtrak and Greyhound services are also accessible.
