Strong schools draw families here
Median $559K·Walkability 0.0/10·Schools 8.5/10
The gravel crunches under your tires as you pull in—68 acres of it, rolling out in front of you like someone decided condos didn't need to feel cramped. Each lot sprawls across about 4.5 acres, which means your neighbors exist more as a pleasant idea than an actual presence. Homes here run around $485K, and the trade-off is real: you're looking at a 35-minute drive to downtown Grand Rapids, but you get actual space in return—the kind where you can breathe without hearing someone else's television. The nearest coffee shop is about 2.6 miles down the road, and groceries aren't quite as convenient at 4.2 miles, so this is a place where you plan your errands rather than grab them on a whim. That's not a flaw, just the arithmetic of choosing land over walkability.
