Forest Grove Sub
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $455K·Walkability 1.3/10·Schools 8.0/10
Lined with mature trees and tucked into a residential pocket of West Michigan, Forest Grove Sub spreads across 8 acres with homes sitting on roughly third-acre lots—enough breathing room without sprawl. You're minutes from a handful of restaurants and a grocery store, and Lloyd's Bayou Public Access is a short walk if you want to get outside. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 35 minutes away, while Grand Haven's beach sits just under 10 minutes south, so weekend drives to the waterfront are entirely reasonable. Homes here run around $455K, and the subdivision feeds into Spring Lake Public Schools, making it a solid option if you want a modest lot size with some actual green around you and easy access to both small-town living and bigger-city amenities.
