Creston Houses for Sale

Creston in Lansing, MI, is a neighborhood characterized by large lots and established homes, many built between 1940 and the late 1960s, with some dating back to the late 19th century. The area features a mix of ranch-style and modest two-story houses, generally under 1,500 square feet. Lot sizes are notably larger, often close to a full acre, as the neighborhood transitions from Lansing city limits to suburban and rural Clinton County. The high water table in the area means many homes are built on slabs or concrete crawl spaces. Creston is one of Lansing's most affordable neighborhoods, with average home prices ranging from $90,000 to $110,000. The neighborhood includes the Gier Community Center and Gier Park Elementary School, which offers specialized reading support and student incentive programs. Recreational features include the Capitol BMX Track and three ball fields at Gier Park. Although the area has fewer retail and restaurant options due to the economic impact of the Motor Wheel Corporation plant closure, residents have convenient access to shopping and dining in nearby DeWitt and Eastwood Towne Center. Local attractions include Granger Meadows Park, the Lansing River Trail, and the eclectic Golden Harvest Restaurant in Old Town. Creston offers a blend of suburban tranquility and proximity to Mid-Michigan highlights.
