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.

Ingham Park in Averill Woods, Lansing, offers amenities for locals, including swings and an open field.

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.
