Chandler Crossings and the Coleman Road apartments
The township's southwest corner on Chandler and Coleman roads, just north of Michigan State's campus, where large apartment complexes, among them Chandler Crossings, held about 968 homes in the 2020 Census on well under 1% of the township's land. All of it is East Lansing Public Schools with an East Lansing 48823 address. The Census counts about 518 renter households and no owners in the block group, with most homes in buildings of five or more units and a typical build year of 2005, so there is no owner value to quote. A short stretch of Coleman Road to the west adds about 129 more homes.
Hawk Hollow and Chandler Road north of State Road
Golf-named streets such as Hawk Hollow Drive, Club Course Drive, Mulligan Drive, Springer Way and Hamlet Cove, plus Gary Lane by the township's soccer park, between State, Drumheller and Chandler roads. About 550 homes in 2020, all in Bath Community Schools, with mail split between Bath and East Lansing. A mix of houses, about 173 attached homes and about 191 homes in larger buildings, typical build year 2004. The owner median near $383,000 carries a margin of about $171,000, so look at street sales instead.
The old village on Main Street and Webster Road
The center of the Bath census place, with Main, Chestnut, Walnut, Vine, High and Oak streets near James Couzens Memorial Park at 13751 Main Street and the township offices at 14480 Webster Road, then out along Clark Road, Mead Creek Road and subdivisions such as Hidden Valley Drive and Muirwood Drive. About 655 homes in 2020, Bath schools throughout, nearly all detached houses and a typical build year of 1971. The block group's owner median of $200,000 has a wide margin of about $66,000, and the Census puts the whole Bath census place near $205,800.
Somerset Drive, Hawks Ridge and the north side of Park Lake
From the apartments off Somerset Drive near the township offices and I-69 south through Hawks Ridge Drive, Red Tail Drive, Pinebluff Drive, Abbey Lane and Rosemont Drive to Wiswasser Park on the east side of Park Lake, across from the Rickard boat launch. About 740 homes in 2020, almost all Bath schools with a Bath address. The block group is mostly rentals, about 729 renter households to 31 owners, typical build year 2007, so the Census owner value is not usable and recent house sales on the Park Lake streets are the better guide.
Oak Island Village and the Canterbury streets south of Park Lake
Oak Island Village, a manufactured home community at 16430 Park Lake Road, sits beside two sets of themed street names: French ones such as Chartres Way, Troyes Road, Picardie Way and Printemp Drive, and Chaucer ones such as Wife of Bath Lane, Tabard Trail, Chaucer Court, Canterbury Trail and Knights Crossing. About 680 homes in 2020, about 435 in Bath schools and about 245 in Haslett's, most with an East Lansing address. The owner median near $117,700 (margin about $49,000) blends about 223 manufactured homes with the houses, and the typical home dates to 1988.
Dutch Hills and the Saginaw Highway corner
The southeast corner along Saginaw Highway, M-78, and Coleman, Center and Stoll roads. Dutch Hills, a manufactured home community at 16400 Upton Road, has streets named for the Netherlands, among them Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Zuiderzee, Delft and Leiden, and Ashbrook, Cedarbrook and Forestview drives hold houses nearby. About 537 homes in 2020, nearly all in Haslett Public Schools, with East Lansing or Haslett addresses. Owner median near $337,200 with a margin near $94,000, about 239 manufactured homes and a typical build year of 1998.
Timber Ridge, Highland Ridge and Brassie Shot Road
Southeast of Park Lake toward State Road, subdivisions on English Oak Drive, Heathfield Drive, White Clover Drive, Timber Ridge Trail, Highland Ridge Drive, Brassie Shot Road, Sanctuary Circle and Pastoral Path. About 599 homes in 2020, all with an East Lansing 48823 address, about 480 of them in Haslett schools and the rest in Bath's. The Census counts about 574 owner households and no renters, about 107 attached homes, an owner median near $413,800 (margin about $65,000) and a typical build year of 1994.
Rose Lake and the rural east
More than a third of the township's land, along Peacock, Upton, Hunter, Britton, Shore and Stoll roads and Old M-78, with the state's Rose Lake Wildlife Area, about 4,071 acres across Clinton and Shiawassee counties, and its office on East Stoll Road. About 500 homes in 2020, all detached: about 294 in Bath schools, about 177 in Haslett's and about 29 in Laingsburg's, with Haslett, Bath, Laingsburg or East Lansing addresses. Owner median near $335,500 (margin about $48,000), typical build year 1980.
Cutler, Howe and Clise roads in the north
The township's farm and acreage tier above the village, along Cutler, Howe, Clise, Angle, Babcock and Watson roads, with side streets such as Dunmaglas Drive, Deerpath Drive and Fawn Valley. About 480 homes in 2020 on more than a quarter of the township's land, Bath schools and a Bath address throughout, and all but a handful detached houses with no renters in the Census count. Owner median near $311,200 (margin about $48,000), typical build year 1975.
