Village of Lansing part of the Chicago Metropolitan Area
The Village of Lansing, part of the Chicago Metropolitan Area, offers its residents small-town charm in a close-knit suburban community. This neighborhood also features a number of public parks, well-rated schools and retail shopping centers, putting locals in close proximity to all the basic necessities. Lansing’s eastern border runs along the Indiana/Illinois state line, while its western edge traverses Illinois Route 394 through the Brownell Woods nature preserve. The history of this suburban village dates back centuries; in 1856, the Pennsylvania Railroad ran through the Lansing area, primarily used for transporting sand. The town itself was officially incorporated in 1893, and from then on has continued to grow in population.
Split-level homes with mature trees are frequent in Lansing.
Some of the most common home styles in this neighborhood include traditional-style ranchers and bungalows, as well as Cape Cod dwellings. Many homes in this area were built in the early twentieth century and have been recently remodeled in the past couple of decades. Residences sit along gridded streets, which are often shaded by towering black maples and oak trees. A large number of properties in this neighborhood feature paved driveways and garages, but street parking is still available in residential areas. Home prices here often range between $150,000 and $300,000; a three-bedroom Cape Cod turnkey with traditional-style architecture might sell for approximately $225,000, while a two-bedroom ranch-style residence featuring a brick exterior can cost just under $140,000.
Tudor-style homes appear in several Lansing neighborhoods.
Classic cottages line Lansing’s quiet residential streets.

The sprawling Brownell Woods is a popular nature preserve that features a number of wooded footpaths, mountain biking trails and creek fishing.

Grab a Chicago-style slice along Ridge Road
“Lansing has the cutest downtown, there’s lots of shopping and great restaurants,” says Donna Stuckert, the director of communications for the Village of Lansing. At Lansing Square, residents can shop at a number of department retail stores, including Walmart Supercenter. Also at this shopping plaza is Kali Beauty, a beauty supplies store, and Sunrise Health Foods, a small grocery market with lots of organic inventory. Locals looking for baked goods and customized sweet treats can check out Calumet Bakery, a family-owned confectionery established in 1935. Of course, there are also a number of restaurants here specializing in Chicago-style deep dishes; along Ridge Road, residents can grab a pizza slice from Waldo Cooney’s Pizza, Rico’s Pizza or The Original John’s Pizzeria.

Concerts and festivals at Fox Pointe event venue
The Village of Lansing hosts a number of events that bring the community together. The village owns the venue Fox Pointe, which has grown in popularity over the years and has seen many celebrations since its opening. “We host free Wednesday night concerts from June through September for residents. We’re also starting a new event called Friday Night Lights, which will feature two live bands,” Stuckert says. Additional community events include National Night Out and Autumn. According to Stuckert, an organization called Lace “hosts very popular cruise nights in the downtown area. And after some of these cruise nights, the village will put on a concert to wrap up the evening.”

Lansing Municipal Airport located south of the neighborhood
This neighborhood is considered to be fairly walkable, but residents can still find a number of bus stops along Torrence Avenue and Calumet Avenue, which are operated by Pace, a regional paratransit division that runs through the Chicago suburbs. Commuters can also drive approximately 27 miles to reach Downtown Chicago using Interstate 94, which runs east-west through the neighborhood and then switches north towards the city. Located south of Lansing is the Lansing Municipal Airport, a small Chicago reliever airport, and the Dyer, IN train station, which operates passenger trains such as Amtrak.
