What catches people off guard out here is the sheer space—22.75 acres per lot means you're not living near your neighbors, you're living *among* them, with breathing room that feels almost rural despite being in West Michigan. The landscape is defined by open land and working properties. A grocery run means heading about two miles down the road, which is the trade-off for this kind of elbow room—you're choosing deliberate remoteness over convenience. Gerald R. Ford International Airport runs about 70 minutes out, so day trips are feasible but this isn't commuter territory in the traditional sense. This is the kind of place where you move *to*, not through—where the appeal is what you have room to do, not what's within walking distance.
