Pleasant Grove is a suburb south of downtown Lansing

Within walking distance, there are plenty of green spaces and retailers.

There is a mix of shotgun styles, bungalows, ranch styles and split-levels that were built from the 1940s through the ‘80s. Many of the residents also live in apartments throughout the neighborhood. “They are starting to turn some of the apartments into condos,” Sauceda says.
