Nature-centered living in Lansing’s southeast corner
Tucked in the southeast corner of Lansing, Forest View lives up to its name, offering 360 views of lakes, parks and trails. With a central elementary, a nearby nature center, and one of the city’s largest county parks, the neighborhood has a family-friendly feel and plenty of recreation opportunities. “There are lots of parks in the area and different places to play,” says Leanne Johnson, an experienced Realtor with Weichert, Realtors - Home Towne. It’s a longer 4-mile trip to city amenities, but prices here are more affordable than elsewhere in Lansing, and homes tend to come with large, wooded lots. “It doesn’t feel crowded,” Johnson attests.
Forest View is a beautiful community located minutes from downtown Lansing.
The Lansing River Trail is an amazing 20-mile, paved pathway in Forest View.

The forests of Forest View
Forest View is surrounded by green space, with the most prominent attraction being Hawk Island Park. This 100-acre park has a central lake for swimming or fishing in the summer and hills for snow tubing in the winter. There’s a small admission fee to get in, but most visitors don’t mind paying a few dollars for access to the sandy shorelines, winding trails and summertime splash pad. The next-door Soldan Dog Park is an off-leash spot for four-legged residents. Other parks include Scott Woods, a less developed nature space with trails that wind up toward Potter Park Zoo. The neighborhood's trails directly connect to the paved Lansing River Trail, which winds up through most major Lansing attractions.

Events at Fenner Nature Center
A mile north of Forest View, Fenner Nature Center offers even more opportunities for nature lovers, with a trail system for hiking in the summer and snowshoeing in the winter. The center hosts preschool classes, summer camps and annual events, including a Maple Syrup Festival and Apple Butter Festival. With a network of dedicated volunteers and visitors, the free park unites a community with a shared love of the outdoors. “It’s a great place for walking and learning about nature,” says Tina Nguyen, the marketing & membership manager with Fenner. “But more than that, it’s a community epicenter. We have school trips come through, local businesses get involved and we have a lot of people who love to volunteer. Maybe it belongs to somebody on paper, but really, the center belongs to everybody who visits.”
One of Lansing's many amenities, the Fenner Nature Center has an interpretive center for youth.

Fixer-upper single-family homes start at around $75,000, and prices get up to $150,000 for renovated condo units. Newly renovated properties that could be rented as two units or used as one single-family home can reach $250,000.

Rustic dining and international grocery options
Residents typically travel toward Downtown Lansing or East Lansing for dining and shopping. One of the only options close to home is Leo’s Lodge, a comfortable pub and restaurant with a rustic interior and deer mounts. There’s a Family Dollar within the neighborhood for essentials, but residents head over to Edgewood Towne Center, 3 miles away, for most grocery runs. The center has a Target, Meijer, and other chain stores and restaurants. There are also a few nearby international stores, like International Market One and International Food Mart.
For your larger shopping adventures, head over to Kroger, located minutes from Forest View.

Commutes to downtown, MSU, and McLaren Hospital
Residents aren’t far from Interstate 496 and North Aurelius Road, making commuting downtown and over toward MSU easy. There's also a reliable bus network that runs through the neighborhood, and when the weather is nice, the paved Lansing River Trail connects 4 miles into downtown Lansing, a 25-minute trip. McLaren Greater Lansing Hospital also sits just across the Interstate from Forest View, so the neighborhood is popular with healthcare professionals.
