Englewood No. 1

The moment you turn down this stretch, Duck Lake opens up just a short walk away—close enough that the water feels like part of the neighborhood rather than somewhere you have to drive to. It's a quiet platted subdivision with room to breathe, the kind of place where you're near enough to Gerald R. Ford airport for convenience without feeling its pull every day. Lower Crooked Lake Park sits about two and a half miles out if you're looking for a larger recreation area, and everything here has that West Michigan quality—trees, water access, and the kind of unrushed feel that comes from being just far enough outside the main drag.
