Delta Township has suburban living close to large shopping hubs
Delta Township is just outside Lansing , where streets feel a bit more suburban, and all the shopping on Saginaw Highway is just minutes away. Homebuyers enjoy lower township property taxes but are still within a 10-minute drive of downtown. "It's really unique because it comes right into the city," says Brian Ozbun, a Realtor with Bellabay Realty, who has sold several homes in the area. "You could be literally in the same school district as your neighbor from across the street, but be in Eaton County, not the Lansing city limits." Local parks are often busy with families or township-planned activities, and the housing market continues to grow in popularity. "There are a lot of newer developments, the school system seems to be favored, and it's just a really in-demand area," Ozbun says.

Housing ranges from ranch-style homes to luxury construction
There's a variety of neighborhoods in Delta Township, from upscale subdivisions with homeowners' associations to wooded areas with half-acre yards. In general, streets have sidewalks and often end in cul-de-sacs. The market tends to be in high demand. "Of all the areas in Greater Lansing, Delta Township is one of the most popular requests among buyers," says Missy Lord, a Realtor with Re/Max Real Estate Professionals with over 10 years of experience in the area. Ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals from the mid to late-1900s typically start around $100,000 to $300,000. From $300,000 to $450,000, houses are usually renovated or were built after 2000. From $450,000 to $780,000, buyers can find luxury homes in newer subdivisions or properties with access to the Grand River.

The highest concentration of retail on Lansing’s west side
Saginaw Highway is an epicenter for shopping, with major retailers like Target, Meijer, Horrocks Farm Market and more. Lansing Mall is the largest shopping hub on this side of the city, offering Regal Cinemas and more than 50 retailers. "One of the biggest draws to Delta Township is all of the new development happening around the W. Saginaw/96 corridor," says Lord. "They have added some amazing new shopping centers, including BJ's Wholesale, T.J. Maxx, Texas Roadhouse and Horrocks." There are numerous chain restaurant options, and locally owned spots have a range of cuisines, from the jambalaya at One North Kitchen & Bar to the Afghan cuisine at Noosh. Residents look forward to Restaurant Week in March, when many businesses do special promotions to attract visitors. Each day of the week celebrates a different type of food, including barbecue, Mexican, steak and seafood.

Heading to downtown Lansing by car, bus or bike
Downtown Lansing is about 4 miles away on Saginaw Highway. A bus route runs along Saginaw and makes it into the city in about 20 minutes. Cyclists might also head south to Michigan Avenue to take a designated bike lane into the city. Most residents are also within a few miles of Interstates 96, 496 and 69, which offer high-speed access to much of the greater Lansing area and beyond. For longer trips, the Capital Region International Airport is about 4 miles north. While many residents do commute, Delta Township has a strong manufacturing base anchored by General Motors. In 2025, LG Energy Solution invested $2.6 billion in a new battery plant. The township’s manufacturing hub is separated from most residential areas by major highways.
