Averill Woods is a South Lansing community that has seen a revival
Welcome to Averill Woods, where wooded parks dot classic residential streets in this signature South Lansing neighborhood. Unlike surrounding communities, Averill Woods isn’t home to an exclusive country club, large commercial district or warehouses transformed into eclectic eateries. What the community does have are quiet streets, comfortably sized homes and easy access to Lansing’s Capitol Complex. As a South Lansing community, Averill Woods was affected when the automotive manufacturing plants of nearby REO Town began to relocate. While this may have caused employment opportunities and local businesses to leave the area, the Averill Woods Neighborhood Association and other local groups have stepped up and committed to revitalization in the community.
Variety of homes include Craftsmans, Cape Cods and condos
“Most of the homes appear to be owner-occupied as they are well kept,” says Richard Child, a Realtor with NextHome Realty. “There is a variety of architectural styles including Craftsman bungalows, Cape Cods and smaller two-stories with Greek Revival columns.” You’ll also find the classic range of convenient ranch-style houses and roomy colonial-style homes, all of which blend well together to line established streets with that traditional neighborhood feel. Most homes in Averill Woods are on a single lot that have backyards ready for barbecues. “Inside, these homes typically consist of roughly 1,000 square feet above the grade up to around 1,400 square feet,” Child says. You can find homes ranging in price from $100,000 to $250,000. Along Moores River Drive is Moores River Estates, a condo community overlooking the Grand River. This gated community welcomes residents with elegant, in-demand condos with state-of-the-art interior updates and ranch-style convenience.
Lansing School District has STEM and arts programs
Budding science and technology enthusiasts start their academic journey at Averill New Tech Elementary, a prekindergarten through third grade institution that offers a project-based approach. Students can alternatively be enrolled at Dwight Rich School of the Arts for a more arts-focused Lansing Community Schools location, complete with artist-in-residence programs and various art forms infused into core classes.
Outdoor recreation includes Averill Park and Moores River Drive
Wooded, welcoming and right in the heart of the neighborhood, Averill Park is where residents can play pickup soccer or stop by the small playground for a few hours. Ingham Park is home to the same amenities but also boasts a basketball court and disc golf course that ventures into the woods. Moores River Drive not only offers a beautiful view of the Grand River but is also where you can walk or cycle along a paved trail all the way to Frances Park. Stop by for a stroll through the rose gardens or to enjoy postcard-worthy views of the Grand River at the end of the day.
Locals gather at restaurants and REO Town
Despite being a mostly residential area, Averill Woods has a great spot for authentic Mexican treats and eats. MexiTreats and Taqueria serves up cold treats, custom cakes and tacos for a quick stop or Friday night takeout. Holmes Road leads to your local Great Giant Market supermarket and other convenience stores. The nearest foodie and nightlife destination is REO Town, home to everything from early-morning specialty drinks at Blue Owl Coffee to late-night craft beer at Ellison Brewing Company.
