Whitehills, located between Lake Lansing Road and Saginaw Highway, is a residential and wooded East Lansing neighborhood with curving streets and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Lansing Road corridor near Abbot Road, where coffee counters, local eateries, and everyday errands create a steady street rhythm. Architectural lines lean mid-century and late-20th-century, with ranches and split-levels set back behind mature trees. Trails and green buffers shape a quiet, outdoors-forward feel without feeling remote. Community touchstones include the Wharton Center for Performing Arts, the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, and the Hannah Community Center.

The purpose of the RB district is to achieve the same character, stability, and sound residential environment as intended for the RR, RAA, and RA residential districts. The difference between the three previously mentioned and the RB district is that a higher density of population will be permitted through the construction and occupancy of one-family dwelling structures on smaller lot area. There is no intent to promote by these regulations a residential district of lower quality than in the RR, RAA, and RA districts. This section applies to the RB district.
