Nestled along the Grand River, Knollwood Willow is a turn-of-the-century Lansing suburb with access to public transportation, parks and employment. “It’s close to industry, and there are a lot of people who work at General Motors and the multiple insurance companies in Lansing,” says Realtor Stacee Robison, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Keller Williams Realty.
