Creston, located between Old Town and Eastwood Towne Center, is a residential and commercial Lansing neighborhood with a walkable main street and early-20th-century housing stock. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along N Grand River Ave near E Cesar E Chavez Ave, where coffee counters, small restaurants, and storefront services line the sidewalks. The Creole, Zoobie’s Old Town Tavern, and The Grid Arcade Bar anchor local nights out with distinct menus and games. Side streets feature compact bungalows and tidy porches, while the commercial strip keeps daily errands close at hand. Parks and the River Trail add green breaks and a steady bike-and-walk rhythm. The mix of older blocks and active storefronts gives Creston a grounded, lived-in feel.

The intent of the R-6 Urban Residential District is to preserve the historic character of Lansing's most urban neighborhoods maintaining the scale of medium-density single-family detached residences. These neighborhoods feature small lots, early 20th century-built homes often with alleys and rear loading garages. Infill development in this district should respect the historic single-family character. Typical character types include Four-Square, Craftsman, and Queen Anne vernacular types. Front-facing gable and hip roofs are typical. The intent of sub-district R-6B is to integrate attached residential units into appropriate locations at the perimeter of established residential neighborhoods. Attached residential units are intended to provide a physical transition from the adjacent busier street types, and/or non-residential uses to the purely residential neighborhood.
