Red Cedar Flats is conveniently located less than a mile from Michigan State University, or about a 9-minute walk or 3-minute drive. The Lake Lansing walking trail connects directly to campus, so you can take in scenic, breathtaking views of nature on your way to libraries, lecture halls, and university landmarks. This way, students can wake up, get ready, hit the road, and arrive to class in no time.

With individual leasing, residents can rest assured that they are only financially responsible for their own space and share of the common areas.
