Ardson Heights (1919)

Map by the author.

Advertised as "The Gem of East Lansing," Ardson Heights was platted on the site of the former Lansing Country Club golf course, which dated from 1902. By 1915, the City of East Lansing had annexed the land, and within two years a house was built at 417 Ardson.[Miller, p.58] Ardson Road was converted to a cul-de-sac in the late-1980s.

Ridgeley Park (1921)

This subdivision was platted by the Krentel brothers on the western half of the Valleau farm, north of Oakwood and west of the old High School, extending Sunset Lane and Forest Street and creating the streets of Northlawn, Centerlawn, Southlawn, and Westlawn. It was annexed into the city on 28 May, 1921. No significant structures are here.
