Shaw Estates and Chartwell Neighborhoods in East Lansing, MI

I continue my quest to highlight different neighborhoods in the Greater Lansing area. A great little neighborhood you may never have heard of is located just west of Harrision and north of Saginaw in East Lansing called “Shaw Estates” This neighborhood has a location to be envied, it is located just 5 minutues to Meijer, Frandor Shopping Center and Downtown East Lansing. With such a convenient location, you would be shocked at the quiet streets and suburban style lots nestled just off these busy streets. There are also plenty of parks nearby for the kids. The homes are between 1500-2500 square feet and were mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s.

The neighborhood has faired incredibly well during the downturn with an average sales price in the last 12 months of $255,400, down from $262,550. I was shocked to see these numbers…I think they are the lowest depreciation I have seen, which is great news (well, unless you are looking to buy in Shaw Estates).

Chartwell Estates is just west of Shaw Estates and has a slightly smaller and more affordable housing stock.

Changing Lansing One Home at a Time

Something strange has been happening around Lansing. As the doom and gloom of the recession bombards the headlines and swallows up the media attention, a small local construction company, Lau Construction, has been steadily renovating homes around the Lansing area for 5 years now. With 17 projects under their belt, this small company has done all manor of projects. From light renovations, such as paint and carpets, to major overhauls, including one home that was lifted off its foundation so that the foundation could be rebuilt. The list of completed projects includes four homes that had been “red tagged” by the City of Lansing, and one that was slated for demolition. All of these homes are now back in service and have been sold to owner occupants.

Lau Construction was started in 2005 by Christopher and Adraine Lau, who met at Michigan State University in the Construction Management Program. Both have always had an interest in urban revitalization and decided to stay close to home and open their own business. Lau Construction has given special attention to The Westside Neighborhood. Ten of these whole house renovations have occurred in this neighborhood. “We like working in The Westside Neighborhood because we live there as well. The historic character of the neighborhood makes it a wonderful place to live and an easy place to sell a renovated home. We can work close to home and help change the neighborhood for the better at the same time.”

There have been challenges along the way, of course. “You have to learn to adapt to a changing and sometimes challenging real estate market” says co-owner Adriane Lau, who is also a real estate Broker with RE/MAX Real Estate Professionals, “Being on the front lines in real estate I have seen things change seemingly overnight.”
