Five Star Center Association

Driving through Five Star Center Association, you notice the rhythm changes—two acres of compact condo living where the car parks but the legs do the work. A transit stop lands three minutes away on foot, which matters more than it sounds when you're the type who's lived in enough places to know the difference between "near transit" and "actually using it." The nearest restaurant sits five minutes down the road, and there are 198 of them within a mile, which means you're not cooking unless you want to. Window on the Waterfront park is a five-minute walk, and thirteen parks scatter within a mile—enough green space that you won't feel like you're living in someone's parking lot. Grand Haven beach runs about 32 minutes by car when the summer urge hits.
