Garretsons Sub
Great schools with outdoor access
Walkability 6.2/10·Schools 4.6/10
Fairbanks Avenue runs straight through here, and the dining scene is essentially at your door—162 restaurants within a mile, including spots that are literally steps away, which is the kind of saturation that makes ordering in feel like a legitimate lifestyle choice. Cook Villages Quad is a four-minute walk if you need actual green space, and there are 11 parks within a mile total. Transit is three minutes on foot, a coffee shop's equally close, and the grocery situation (54 stores within two miles) means you're never stranded for supplies. Grand Haven beach is about a half hour away if the weather cooperates. Homes here run in the mid-$300Ks to low $400Ks, and the subdivision sits under Ottawa Area ISD.
