Located in Ingham County
The Stockbridge community sits about 35 miles southeast of Lansing and offers a historic feel with opportunities to connect with nature. “It truly is a small town; everyone knows everyone,” Susan Pidd with Susan Pidd Realty says. Pidd has several years of real estate experience in Stockbridge and nearby areas. Stockbridge was the first established township in Ingham County, while the current township hall building is a Michigan State Historic Site.
Prices for homes in the area range from $120,000 to $350,000, with vacant lots going from $25,000 to $300,000 depending on acreage. Many of the houses in the area are Tudor or ranch-style homes, along with some historic two-story homes.
Spend some time outdoors at one of the parks or preserves in the area, including Veteran’s Memorial Park. The park offers a playground with bright yellow slides for kids to enjoy, some ramps for skateboarders to practice their tricks, a basketball court, sports fields and picnic pavilions for gatherings or to stay out of the sun. “The park and trails are very busy and well used in the summer,” Pidd says. Locals head to Lakelands Trail State Park for the walking trail and horseback riding. The trail used to be a railroad track; now, it is a no-vehicles-allowed trail. Speaking of trails, the Beckwith Nature Preserve allows locals and visitors to surround themselves with nature with clearly marked trails and natural scenery.
Locals stop at Stockbridge Diner, known for its great atmosphere and service, for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Medina’s Take Out Mexican Restaurant is a few blocks from Main Street, serving Mexican food favorites like tostadas and burritos. Great Lakes Baker is where locals with a sweet tooth go for their cookies, pies and other baked goodies. Stockbridge residents will pick up their meats, produce and other groceries at Plane Food Market. Swing by Local Pedals and pick out some flowers, floral designs or gifts for any occasion. Locals must head to Jackson, Ann Arbor or Detroit to find a Walmart, Target or other major box stores. Depending on the store, this is usually about a 23-mile drive or more.
Students will start school at Emma Smith Elementary School, which receives a B-plus grade from Niche. The school covers kindergarten through second grade and features an activity calendar that includes book fairs, a winter carnival and other contests. Heritage School is their next educational journey stop, a B-minus-graded school. Heritage is an upper elementary school for third-grade through sixth-grade students and is a 1:1 Chromebook school. Teenage students will attend Stockbridge Jr/SR High School for seventh through 12th grade, a C institution, and have an entire sports calendar throughout the year. The sports include basketball, softball and soccer.
Stockbridge celebrates Father’s Day Weekend with A Day in the Village festival, including a 5K, vendors, fireworks and other festivities. Residents have celebrated nearly 30 of these festivals at Veterans Memorial Park and Town Square. The Saturday after Thanksgiving is a Festival of Lights, where locals enter the holiday spirit. Other gatherings and celebrations include the Harvest Festival, Blessing of the Plow and a motorcycle rally in the spring. “The events are great for the community and bring everyone together,” Pidd says.
Farmland surrounds the neighborhood, so most residents are car dependent. The WAVE shuttle gives residents free transportation from Stockbridge to Chelsea on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and makes four daily stops.
