What it’s like
The place. Haslett is a community in Ingham County with a settled, grown-up feel. Household incomes run higher than across the county, and more homes are lived in by their owners than rented. Most adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cold and snowy, while summers turn pleasantly warm.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with professional and business services and shops also employing a good number. Haslett Public Schools is the biggest workplace in town, followed by Medilodge of Okemos, a skilled nursing facility. A fair share of residents work from home, and for those who commute, the trip is a fairly short one.
Things to do. Lake Lansing is in or beside town, along with Lake Lansing Park South and Lake Lansing Park North, which makes the water and the parkland easy to reach. A short drive away are the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum and Potter Park Zoo, and Spartan Stadium is also a short drive away.
