Clearwater Beach Resort

The road in here winds through 129 acres of generous lots—averaging 2.65 acres each—where homes run around $2.2 million and the spacing alone tells you something about the place. You're on the edge of Port Sheldon Street Area, maybe 19 minutes from the Grand Haven beach if you want sand and dunes, or nearly 50 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids if you don't. Grand Haven Area Public Schools serves the subdivision. The real anchor is what's literally next door: Olive Shores County Park sits a short walk away, and there are two parks within a mile, which means you've got room to breathe on your own land and easy access to the kind of uncluttered green space most people have to drive to find.
