You can buy houses in the nicest parts of East Lansing for about the same as you'd pay in middling to bad neighborhoods in Albany.

Edit: We have no current plans to leave the Albany area.

EL and the Economy

[(Anonymous)]

Yup, some parts of MI are in tuff shape. EL tho is remarkably good. Housing prices are stagnant, not dropping. We are getting investment in the downtown. And we have a number of small, hi-tec business in the region that are poised to do well. Don't forget,we have a Big Ten university here, the premier landgrant institution in the country, top education college, top vet school, top Labor & HR program, etc. The Wharton Center for the Performing Arts is the largest venue for Broadway musicals outside NYC. And, just down the road in Lansing is the state capital. We are never more than 100 miles from a great lake. The only thing we lack is a mountain.

Here is a site that touts some of the good things happening in the area: http://www.capitalgainsmedia.com/

Enjoy!!!

I knew all of that. :-) Although, I thought it was "never more than 80 miles from a Great Lake," not 100.

I've said it before, East Lansing is the most cosmopolitan small town in the country. Who needs mountains? I've been out here almost 9 years now, and real mountains still feel vaguely unnatural to me.
