Gardners Sub
Lake life, small town feel
Walkability 3.4/10·Schools 5.2/10
You'll be about five minutes from the beach, which is the kind of thing that makes a four-acre subdivision feel less like a subdivision and more like an actual place to live. Gardners Sub sits in the Gluecks Sub Area with Grand Haven Area Public Schools feeding the district, and Klempel Park is right there if you need grass and a playground without leaving the block. The usual goods are close enough—eighteen restaurants and thirty grocery stores within a couple miles, a coffee shop about a ten-minute walk, a restaurant even closer—so you're not stranded, but you're also not living on top of downtown Grand Rapids, which is nearly an hour away if you ever need it. Depending on what's on the market.
