Hillside Park No. 1
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $828K·Walkability 2.2/10·Schools 8.0/10
Hillside Park No. 1 is a tight 2-acre subdivision in Island Park Murray Lake Area, where homes run around $828K and sit close enough to Murray Lake that the boat launch is less than a mile away—convenient if you're the type who likes to keep a dock in mind. The Lowell Area Schools district covers the area, and downtown Grand Rapids is about 35 minutes by car when you need it. Walking distance to Murray Lake Public Access keeps the outdoor pull immediate, and that water proximity is real; it's the kind of detail that shapes how you actually live here rather than just pass through.
