Howard Sub
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $562K·Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 8.0/10
The lots here run about half an acre each, which means there's actual breathing room between houses without the sprawl feeling of exurbia—and you're close enough to Rycenga Park that a morning walk is genuinely convenient. Homes median around $562K, and the subdivision sits in Fruitport Community Schools territory, within the broader West Highlands Area. Grand Haven's beaches are under ten minutes by car, which makes a weekend trip to the water feel like an afternoon impulse rather than a plan, while downtown Grand Rapids sits about 42 minutes north if you need the city. Spring Lake itself is just over a mile away. The nearest restaurant and grocery are a couple of miles out, so you're not hyper-dense, but not isolated either—it's that in-between zone where you've got space but not silence.
