I am unable to provide a summary of recent traveler reviews and experiences for Lakeside Airport (US-10401) in Holt, US. My search did not yield any information about an airport by this name or identifier (US-10401) in Holt, or any other location in the United States, that generates public traveler reviews.
It appears that "Lakeside Airport (US-10401) in Holt, US" may not be a publicly recognized or operational airport with available traveler feedback. The identifier "US-10401" was found in a context related to an economic development scheme in India, not as an airport code for a US airport. Some search results referred to "Lakeside Gliders" as an amusement park ride in Michigan, and other "Lakeside" references were for pet boarding facilities or general geographic descriptions of areas near lakes in Michigan, which mentioned various other legitimate airports in Northern Michigan.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to summarize traveler sentiment, facilities, security, transportation, strengths, or complaints for this specific location.

The airport ceased operations sometime between the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was last depicted on aeronautical charts in 1976. Aerial photography from 1992 shows the runway was no longer in use, and by 1999, the area was undergoing residential construction.
The closure was due to economic reasons driven by suburban expansion and land value. As the Holt and South Lansing area grew, the land became significantly more valuable for residential real estate development than for maintaining a small, private airfield. This urban encroachment is a common reason for the closure of small general aviation airports.
The site of the former Lakeside Airport has been completely redeveloped into a residential subdivision. The area is now occupied by single-family homes, lawns, and suburban streets. The street 'Lakeside Drive' runs through the former airport property, but no physical trace of the runway, hangars, or other airport infrastructure remains.
Lakeside Airport was a small, privately owned general aviation airfield. It primarily served local recreational pilots. The airport featured a single unpaved turf runway, which was listed as 2,200 feet long in the 1960s and later extended to 2,600 feet. It did not handle commercial, cargo, or military operations and its significance was confined to the local private flying community.
There are zero prospects for reopening Lakeside Airport. The land has been fully and permanently converted to high-density residential use, making any return to aviation operations physically impossible. There are no known plans or discussions to re-establish an airport at this location.
