Graves Sub
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $323K·Walkability 6.2/10·Schools 8.0/10
Graves Sub sits on just five acres in the West Highlands Area, where lot sizes cluster around a quarter-acre—tight enough that you're never far from a neighbor, spacious enough that you've got room to breathe. Homes here run around $417K, and they're zoned for Spring Lake Public Schools. You can walk to a restaurant in three minutes and hit Central Park in five, which matters when nine parks sit within a mile of your front door. The grocery store is an 11-minute walk, and there are 36 restaurants within a mile—so you've got real options without needing to plan an expedition. Spring Lake itself is about a mile and a half away, and if you want to see Grand Haven's beach, that's just over eight minutes by car. Downtown Grand Rapids sits 38 minutes out if you need the city, but most days you won't feel like you're missing it.
