Avondale Square

Tucked away in a quiet area not far from major highways and restaurants, shopping and other businesses lies Avondale Square. It is just a short distance from Business I-69, Abbot Road and East Lake Lansing Road. It is within walking distance of Whitehills Park, which offers a baseball field and another field that is ideal for soccer or football.

Not far away is Patriarche Park. The neighborhood is also close to downtown. With a walking and bike path along East Saginaw Street, residents have easy access to many other nearby areas.

Avondale Square is part of a community revitalization project to replace old, empty houses with new buildings to attract families and breathe new life into the area. The homes are being built by Mayberry Homes and feature a wide range of styles, sizes and price ranges. They start at around $144,000 and include 3 and 4 bedrooms. If you choose to buy a new-build, you can select colors and other options to make the house look and feel like home.

This area has been designed to be a walkable community close to the East Lansing Public Schools. It is also nearby to the Michigan State campus with a small pocket park inside the community and child care facilities and a library for convenience close to the area. A community center is also part of the neighborhood. In addition to the single-family homes, you can find townhouses to fit in your price range.
