Dean Lake Gardens

This wooded 6-acre community offers a rare opportunity for privacy and space just outside Grand Rapids, with generous lots averaging three-quarters of an acre. The secluded setting attracts wildlife while maintaining reasonable access to nearby amenities, including a dozen restaurants within a mile and several grocery options within a short drive.

Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the proximity to Dean Lake Park and five other parks within walking distance, plus Perch Lake just a third of a mile away for fishing and recreation. Three boat launches within five miles provide additional water access. Students attend Northview Public School District, which includes some highly-rated options. The low walkability score reflects the rural character—most daily needs require a short drive.
