Bassett Park is a Lansing community with competitive prices
Tenacity is what it took for Lansing residents to establish their city as a leader in the automotive and manufacturing industry, and it is tenacity that allows them to overcome economic setbacks and come together as a community. Today, the Bassett Park community welcomes residents with competitive house prices and comfortably sized homes in Lansing’s northwest. Bassett Park may not have the popularity of other Lansing area neighborhoods but, for its residents, it has a welcoming blend of central community park, residential streets and that tenacious Lansing spirit.
Smaller homes with 1,500 square feet or less are common
Homes in the Bassett Park neighborhood have a median home price of $70,000, and are characterized as, “mainly small ranches and two-story homes with 1,500 square feet or less,” says Richard Child, a Realtor with NextHome Reality. They range from two-bedroom houses, with less than 1,000 square feet, starting at $50,000, to newly remodeled homes with four bedrooms, priced up to $180,000. While most of the homes have a Minimal Traditional architectural style, you’ll find a few Cape Cods and homes with stylish Craftsman trim and other details in the community. The neighborhood can be a popular area for finding starter homes and investment properties.
Lansing schools offer extracurriculars and opportunities to get ahead
As part of the Lansing School District, students can start at Riddle Elementary School. The Mid-Michigan Leadership Academy inspires students from kindergarten through eighth grade with an alternative tuition-free academic environment. Before graduation, students at J.W. Sexton High School can participate in the robotics team, join the nurses club or even earn an associate’s degree with up to 30 college credits through its early college dual enrollment program.
Local parks include the namesake Bassett Park and nearby Tecumseh Park
Bassett Park ticks all the boxes for a classic neighborhood park, from a playground and full basketball court to more than enough green space for kids to play tag around the trees. Just west of the Grand River, Tecumseh Park’s playground and picnic shelter are worth a visit, and the kayak launch is your nearest gateway to exploring the waterways of the greater Lansing area.
Bassett Park residents travel to Old Town for a bite to eat
Because of the decrease in skilled worker positions in Lansing automotive and manufacturing plants in the 1990s, “restaurant and retail options in the surrounding area can be scarce,” Child says. For many residents, the popular Old Town neighborhood is the place to be for an evening out, from slow-smoked sensations at Meat BBQ to drinks and arcade games at The Grid Arcade and Bar. Closer to home, El Azteco’s patio seating and Mexican fare are a good excuse for a leisurely lunch. Next-door Capital City BBQ is where you can get barbecue without a trip to Old Town, as well as pho, banh mi and other Vietnamese classics.
While you won’t find a convenience store around the corner, Gorman’s Food Market is your north-of-the-river, family-owned and -operated option for fresh produce and staple items. Head to the end of Sunset Avenue, past warehouses and treatment plants, to find Sunset Clay Studio, an art space that offers ceramic studio workshops, memberships and special events to celebrate local art in Northwestern Lansing.
