Garbow Plat No.1
Great schools with outdoor access
Walkability 2.1/10·Schools 10.0/10
The best part about this place is how close you are to water—Kettle Lake sits just a fifth of a mile away, and Campau Lake public access is a quick walk to the northeast. It's the kind of setup where you can actually reach things on foot without pretending. The plat sits in the Garbow Plat Area, under Caledonia Community Schools, about 27 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and just under 14 minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport if you need to catch a flight. Grocery shopping runs a few miles out, but the lake access and boat launch at Campau Lake half a mile over make up for the drive to the supermarket—especially if you're the type who actually uses a boat.
