Foster Your Neighborhood, located between Foster Avenue and the Grand River, is a residential and civic Lansing neighborhood with a riverfront edge and a patchwork of older blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Foster Avenue corridor near the river crossings, where small storefronts, community services, and everyday foot traffic set the tempo. Housing reads as practical Midwestern stock—modest single-family homes and small multifamily buildings—framed by mature trees and utility alleys. River-adjacent paths and green pockets shape routines around walking and cycling. Nearby anchors such as the Lansing River Trail, the Michigan State Capitol, and the Lansing City Market help define local culture and weekend rhythms.

R-6A
Urban Residential District
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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Day care facility
Housing-Single unit
