Jackson, MI Townhouses for Rent

Jackson, Michigan combines historical significance with practical living options for those seeking apartments in this central Michigan city. Known as "The Rose City," Jackson holds the distinction of being one of the birthplaces of the Republican Party, marked by a plaque in Under the Oaks City Park - a site visited by several U.S. presidents throughout history. Apartment living in Jackson remains affordable, with average one-bedroom rents at $961, compared to Michigan's state average of $1,124. The city's location, approximately 35 miles south of Lansing and 75 miles west of Detroit, provides convenient access to major Michigan cities via Interstate 94 and U.S. Route 127.

The city features 26 parks across 645 acres of public space. Local landmarks include the Cascade Falls, recognized as one of the largest man-made waterfalls in the world, and Ella Sharp Park, home to a municipal golf course, museum complex, and extensive trail system. Jackson's heritage includes its role as an early automotive manufacturing center, where over 20 different car brands were once produced, and the Michigan Central Railroad Depot maintains its status as the nation's oldest continuously operating train station. With living costs below the national average and educational institutions like Jackson College and Spring Arbor University nearby, Jackson offers convenient access to larger cities while maintaining its distinct local character.
