Campus Village - E. Lansing, east-lansing-mi

Update: Sept. 2026 after 12 months of leasing and 11 more to go. Well the time has come for the real truth. Watch your utility bills closely. ConService & Campus Village will tell you to call the other. Not living here in the summer? No worries. You will be charged for a run away toilet wasting thousands of gallons of water and it is your negligence. Document everything. Report everything. Take videos & photos. Do searches on major websites before you decide to lease. Great location is about the gist of it. Appliances outdated, nothing replaced with new stuff. Maintenance is not thorough. It has been over a year now and paying 2k for 2 rooms out of 4 rooms (4k for 1 apt.) is price gouging students. It is actually more per month because you have to move out by 7-31 and can't move in until Aug. 20th. You lose 3 weeks. Do the math. Look up the management company for specifics. Please, take it from me and experience this last year. If we didn't fully decorate the apt. it is rather basic for the expensive price plus $480 for covered pkg and $10 per month extra for vaulted ceiling we never asked for. And don't try a lock on your own side of apt for safety on door. Nope. Look at reviews and how many they have done. 2 reviews? Be wary. I see employees leaving reviews. Quite a few employees leaving reviews. Tells you all you need to know. Daughters in a 4x4 apartment. They each get their own bathrooms with bathtubs, comes with washer & dryer, dishwasher, microwave & fully furnished. Their apt. has a vaulted ceiling, (4th floor) for an additional $10 each per month. Fully furnished is very convenient. Great location to campus! Also covered parking garage for $40 extra per month, well worth to be guaranteed a pkg spot that is assigned. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Mgmt receptive to maintenance requests in a timely manner. So far this place is great. May re-new for next year if the girls like it! Update 3-18-26: Renewed for another year 2027. MISTAKE!! Workout room is decent the girls said.

Amazing apartment. Was a resident for my junior and senior year at MSU and had the best experience both years. Staff is super great and helpful (shoutout to Richard and his team), maintenance was quick when needed and parking is a huge plus especially with a reserved spot that isn’t too costly. Staff is always putting in effort hosting events for residents throughout the year and holidays. Great place, would recommend 100%.

Current resident. I hate to leave this review because the office and maintenance staff are SUPER friendly and helpful But… The first floor apartment has pest problems, and the old (and honestly musty) carpets make mouse poop invisible. We have gotten mice in our unit 3 times now, no idea how they’re getting in besides under the door, which is raised enough for them to run in. They leave droppings on the stove, counters, everywhere. We don’t leave food out either. There’s also bad sealing on the windows so tons of black beetles also keep coming into my bedroom unit whenever the sun is out. We reported the mice and the employees said there’s “nothing they can do,” which isn’t their fault because they aren’t given the funding/resources by CV to add stoppers under doors, set mouse traps in hallways, hire/rent carpet cleaners, etc... Campus Village policy is the problem. They operate pretty cheaply. When we moved in, the carpet was already stained in some areas from past use. What really rubs it in is the fact that I have seen the inside of a friend’s unit who pays the same price, and it’s got nice hardwood floors and new cabinets and sink area. Residents with these older, unsightly rooms should be given a discount. Unless Campus Village pays for carpet cleaning after rodents, or does anything else to take responsibility for the pest issues, I rate the place 2 stars. Not worth the price, much cleaner apartments near campus.

Lived here last year and honestly? I miss it. The location made getting to campus super easy, and the apartments were clean, modern, and comfortable to live in throughout the year. It felt like a solid balance between student-friendly and still well-maintained. One thing that stood out during my time there was how responsive maintenance was. Anytime I put in a request, it was handled pretty quickly, which made a big difference. The community itself was also pretty quiet and easy to live in. The staff played a big role in that experience too. Christina, in particular, was great to work with. She was always friendly, easy to talk to, and quick to help with anything that came up. It definitely made living there feel a lot less stressful knowing someone was that reliable. Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and well-run place to live in East Lansing.

A WARNING IF PAYING BY PHYSICAL CHECK: I will start this review by saying the location is awesome and it is a relatively clean building. However, we have had a few major issues with Campus village. One of the biggest issues was because I paid by check. One of the managers, Rich, processes the checks. I have never once paid my check late, but somehow almost every single month I get multiple phone calls and emails from the campus village corp office saying that I haven’t paid my rent. I’ll get charged late fees and get pestered until I go and tell Rich that it hasn’t been processed. He always has an excuse saying that another office is responsible for processing the next step, but somehow after I talk with him the check is processed like 30 minutes later. Today is the 20th of July and my rent check has not been processed. I got a letter today saying I must pay or I will be evicted in 7 days. This is absolutely ridiculous, there is not a reason in the world for my check to take 20 days to process. This is unacceptable behavior and a poor job carried out by the staff.
