Located in Eaton County
Sunfield resides on State Highway 43, to the west of Lansing. Sunfield is surrounded by farming communities, without being too far into the country. “If they want to get away from the city, this is where to go,” village council member Vicki Beers says. “Everyone and everything are very close.” The heart of Sunfield is about 26 miles from downtown Lansing, and nearly 47 miles from Grand Rapids.
Homes in the Sunfield area sell for between $130,000 and $220,000 and are usually Tudor or split-level homes. Many of the homes have either a front or back yard, and most of them are in residential blocks.
Locals who enjoy spending time outdoors head over to Van Buren Park, where they take in the sounds and smells of nature. There are grassy spaces, trees and covered areas for picnics where there is occasionally live music or other events. Residents will also spend time at Foltz field for baseball, softball and T-ball games. “Baseball is a big thing around here,” Beers says. “In the summer there will be baseball and T-ball leagues along with cornhole tournaments.”
Carl’s Supermarket is the closest local grocery store, located in Lake Odessa about 9 miles west of Sunfield, where residents go to pick up their meats, produce and pantry favorites. Hanna-Davis Fine Meats Butcher Shop is just north of Sunfield where locals stock up the deep freezer with different cuts of meat. The Mulliken Roadhouse is a local favorite in the nearby town of Mulliken, that serves American food staples, like hamburgers and sandwiches, along with drinks and occasionally has live music. Big Bubba Js Hillbilly Smokehouse and Sharpening is a popular weekend stop for breakfast, lunch and an early dinner, but is only open on Saturdays. Mapes Furniture Store is a community staple, having been in the neighborhood at the same location since 1892.Sunfield Antiques is a local shop with several unique items like old dishes, grandfather clocks and other knick-knacks. Residents must travel to Lansing to find Target, Walmart, Kohls and other big box store, which is about 25 miles to the east.
Young students will start at Lakewood Elementary School, a first grade through fourth grade school that receives a B grade from Niche. The school gets students involved with events like spirit week, book fairs and a haunted forest setup in the parking lot. The next stop on their educational journeys is Lakewood Middle School, which also has a B, for fifth grade through eighth grade students. The school has various athletic programs, including cross country, basketball and track. Teenage students will attend Lakewood High School, a B-minus institution, for eighth grade through twelfth grade students. The high school offers robotics club, E-Sports club and student council to get the students involved in different activities.
The Sunfield community is very interactive, with many events and activities bringing people together. The neighborhood has a Farmer’s Picnic Festival every September, that attracts everyone nearby and many people from outside of town, and has games, bingos, prize drawings and is very much like a local carnival. Bingo at the Firehouse is a December tradition, where the winners get chickens and turkeys ahead of the holiday season. “It is a very family-oriented area where everyone likes to interact with each other,” Beers says.
There isn’t any public transportation, so residents are usually car-dependent or use their bicycles to get around the neighborhood.
