Introducing a lively, welcoming, walkable, ungated, unbranded, and full life cycle neighborhood
Interested in learning more about Lansing’s Eastside? Allen Neighborhood Center invites you to join us for a Sunday afternoon bus tour, showcasing key assets and unique opportunities in this richly diverse, conveniently located neighborhood. Join us on Sunday, October 19th at 12:30 PM at Gone Wired Cafe for snacks and refreshments before embarking on a 2-hour tour of dozens of Eastside places of note. We’ll stop twice along the way to go inside a recently restored classic Eastside craftsman home on Leslie St. and to visit the Hunter Park GardenHouse. On the Tour, you will learn about the wide variety of affordable housing options and nearby amenities nestled within this comfortably walkable community, connecting MSU and downtown Lansing.
The tour, running from 1 – 3 PM is free of charge. Space is limited, so call Tom Curtis at (517) 999-3924 to reserve your spot on the bus now! Join us to learn more about what Lansing’s Eastside has to offer.
