Stoney Lake sits right across the street—literally a tenth of a mile away—which means you're living in a spot where water access isn't something you plan for, it's something you step into. This 13-acre subdivision around Bowes Road and West Main Street keeps things straightforward: roughly 70-acre lots, homes running around $339K, and Lowell Area Schools handling education. A restaurant is a four-minute walk, the dog park another seven minutes on foot, and you've got five parks within a mile, including Stoney Lakeside Park just down the block. Beyond the immediate neighborhood, downtown Grand Rapids is under 28 minutes by car, and the airport about 25. The nearest grocery lands just over a mile away, though there are six options within two miles when you're stocking up. It's the kind of setup where you get proximity to water and walkable amenities without feeling crammed—enough breathing room that a 70-acre lot actually means something.
