Creek View Estates No 7

You're looking at a subdivision that's definitely car-dependent—most errands require a drive—but you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (about 25 minutes) and the airport (just under 31) that commuting isn't a pain. There are a couple parks within walking distance if you want to stretch your legs, and you've got 11 restaurants scattered within a mile, though you'll probably hop in the car to hit most of them. It's the kind of place where you're not paying city prices (median's sitting around $379K) but you're still tapped into the Hudsonville school district and have pretty easy access to everything that matters.
