Ferris Park Sub No 1
Strong schools draw families here
Median $446K·Walkability 1.1/10·Schools 5.9/10
So you've got Ferris Park Sub No 1, a 20-acre subdivision where the lots run around half an acre each and homes hover around $630K — the kind of setup that gives you enough breathing room without feeling remote. Grand Haven's beach is just nine minutes down the road, which is the real draw here, and Rosy Mound Natural Area sits a mile or so away if you want to stretch your legs without leaving the area. Grocery shopping is less than two miles out, with a half-dozen stores nearby, though restaurants and coffee spots require a bit more of a drive at around 2.5 to 2.7 miles. You're looking at just under an hour to downtown Grand Rapids if that matters for work, but honestly most people out here are thinking about the lake access and the quieter rhythm that comes with being this close to the water. The subdivision feeds into Grand Haven Area Public Schools, and it's part of the larger Fox Hollow Estates Sub Area.
