The boat launch is practically in your front yard—a tenth of a mile to Campau Lake, where the water sits calm and close. Channel Park is a 14-acre subdivision in the Garbow Plat Area, where lots average just under three-quarters of an acre and homes hover around $376K. You're 27 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, 14 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport, and surrounded by 18 restaurants within a mile—enough variety that you're never eating the same thing twice. A public access point to Kettle Lake sits nearby too, and the nearest restaurant is a 10-minute walk, so Saturday dinner doesn't always require the car keys. Caledonia Community Schools serves the area, and the whole setup trades density for the kind of land and proximity to water that tends to define how people actually spend their weekends here.
