Hilltop Cottages

If you're driving out to see this place, just know you're about 34 minutes from Grand Haven beach—close enough for a real weekend, not so close that you're dealing with summer traffic every time you want quiet. Hilltop Cottages sits on a single acre in the Century Lane Sub Area, where you've got 10 parks within a mile and a transit stop just a 3-minute walk away. The grocery is about 7 minutes on foot, and restaurants and coffee shops land around 12 minutes—the kind of distance where you can walk if you want to or grab your keys without thinking twice. There are 162 restaurants and 54 grocery stores within a couple of miles, so you're not choosing between three options. Homes here run around the mid-$200s. The condos are within the Holland City School District, and Smallenburg Park is practically next door—6 minutes and you're there.
