The Charter Township of Delta

“Of all the areas in Greater Lansing, Delta Township is one of the most popular requests among buyers,” says Missy Lord, a realtor with Re/Max. With spacious homes, a community-focused school system and inviting outdoor experiences, Delta Township offers quiet suburban living at the edge of Downtown Lansing. “It’s really unique because it comes right into the city,” says Brian Ozbun, a Realtor with Bellabay Realty, LLC. “You could be literally in the same school district as your neighbor from across the street, but be in Eaton County, not the Lansing city limits.”

Diverse housing stock

Home styles range from timeless ranches to head-turning Millennial Mansions. In between these, there’s a mix of modern bungalows, welcoming colonial-style houses and cozy condos. While mid-sized, modern homes lining cul-de-sacs are the standard, there are also ample stand-alone homes dappled throughout the township. Prices range between $50,000 for an, older, 750-square-foot home on a quarter acre, to upwards of $885,000 for a modern, five-bed. Inventory in this community is low, and homes tend to stay on the market for around 16 days. For comparison, the national average is 42 days. “There are a lot of newer developments, the school system seems to be favored and it’s just a really in-demand area,” Ozbun says.

Shopping and dining in Waverly

Waverly is the epicenter of shopping and dining in Delta Township. While its most prominent features include Lansing Mall and Lansing Towne Center, there are also several big box stores, chains, and locally owned shops along Saginaw Highway. “One of the biggest draws to Delta Township is all of the new development happening around the W. Saginaw/96 corridor,” says Lord. “They have added some amazing new shopping centers including BJ's Wholesale, TJ Maxx, Texas Roadhouse and Horrocks.” One North Kitchen and Bar has an open mic night on Mondays but is best known for its welcoming community feel and tempting American pub fare. Crack Chicken is also a local favorite, well known for their fried chicken coated in their secret crack seasoning.
