If your looking in Lansing, go to the west side of town in to the Grand Ledge area. Look around the I69/Saginaw Street area. East Lansing is unrealistic in rent due to being a college town. Grand Ledge is a farm/family community.
GM's Delta Twp. ASSY plant is nearby as well as various suppliers.
Cost of living is realistic in this area.
I live in Grand ledge and would recommend West side too. However, he is looking for short term stay. Finding a place to rent for a short time is going to be much easier near East Lansing due to the College kids evacuating all the housing for the summer soon. Trust me I love the west side. Not gonna be easy to find a place for 30-60day rental though.
