For residents of this Eastside community, there’s no place like Holmes. The Holmes Street Area is right in the heart of the greater Lansing area, bounded by Lansing’s museums and Capitol Complex, East Lansing’s Michigan State University campus and the winding banks of both the Grand River and Red Cedar River.
Best-known for starter home bungalows and cottages, Holmes Street Area also features a few larger American Foursquares with room for entertaining or larger households and Cape Cods with their signature dormers. Most homes are priced around $100,000, though they can range from around $50,000 for homes that may need renovations or updates to beautifully restored houses for up to $200,000. The former Holmes Street School, located between Mechanic Street and Hazel Street for over 100 years, has been transformed into one-bedroom loft-style apartments. Otherwise, the neighborhood is largely filled with single-family homes along residential streets within walking distance of Lansing’s REO Town neighborhood.
While the youngest learners in the neighborhood start their educational journey reading, playing and attending choir together at Lyons Elementary School, before you know it, they’re enrolling in the pathways program at Eastern High School. This program covers technical and creative career pathways, from biomedical science and engineering to computer science. Lansing Catholic High School combines faith-based education, competitive athletics and a commitment to quality preparation for career and college.
Take a walk or cycle along 20 miles of Lansing’s paved pathway thanks to the Lansing River Trail. You can take it downtown or follow the Red Cedar River to visit Potter Park Zoo, caring for animals and inspiring the next generation of wildlife veterinarians thanks to an educational partnership with the Eaton Regional Education Service Agency Career Preparation Center.
Thanks to efforts from the area Rotary clubs and other organizations, the Red Cedar River Water Trail’s 25 miles are dotted with kayak launch sites to conveniently explore the river from its confluence with the Grand River all the way east to Williamston outside of the greater Lansing area.
Stop by your local diner for a hearty breakfast omelet and coffee. Sunshine Diner captures that timeless diner feel, complete with friendly staff and a straightforward menu of breakfast bites and a light lunch menu. Head to REO Town to broaden your culinary horizons, with smoked meat at Saddleback BBQ and pub fare appetizers from The Rusty Mug Bar and Grill being crowd favorites. Ellison Brewing Company hosts parties, events and everyday conversations at the bar in their spacious REO Town location. You won’t find large supermarkets in the Holmes Street Area neighborhood, so your local Kroger, Fresh Thyme Market or Meijer grocery store is a short drive away.
Whether you’re traveling by the Lansing River Trail, Red Cedar River Water Trail or Interstate 496, the Holmes Street Area is a jumping-off point to explore the stately Capitol Complex, celebrate with the buzzing green and white crowd at Spartan Stadium or head out to the farmlands and small-town charm waiting for you right in the palm of the Mitten State.
