Hawk Nest – A Great East Lansing Community for an Active Lifestyle

If you’re looking for one of the best new constructions in East Lansing, Hawk Nest might be just what you’re looking for.

Hawk Nest is a friendly, active, and diverse neighborhood located in north East Lansing, Michigan. The community was built by Mayberry Homes starting in 2003 and has over 300 single-site condominiums.

The centerpiece Hawk Nest’s active culture is the 20-acre Hawk Nest Park, which is run by the city of East Lansing. The park has playground equipment, a walking path, picnic shelter, and lots of open space.

For walkers, runners, and bikers, the Northern Tier Trail runs along the north and east sides of Hawk Nest, giving residents a perfect place to get their workouts in. Some residents even use the trail to bike to downtown East Lansing.

If you’re a golfer, the highly-rated 9-hole Falcon Golf Course borders Hawk Nest to the north, and the 27-hole Hawk Hollow Course is just a two minute drive from the from the neighborhood’s main entrance.

For dog-lovers, in addition to Hawk Nest Park, Northern Tail Dog Park is a two-acre, double-gated, off-leash dog park enjoyed by many of Hawk’ Nest residents. Northern Tail is located just north of the East Lansing Softball Complex along the Northern Tier Trail, less than two miles from Hawk Nest.

There’s also no shortage of great food nearby, including the popular Jimmy’s Pub, Lou and Harry’s Sports Bar and Grill, and Maru Sushi & Grill.

If you’re looking for a home for you and your family, Hawk Nest is very nice neighborhood, especially if you live an active lifestyle.
