Kennedy Acres

Life here moves at a different pace—you're working with five-acre-plus lots where the routine involves less commuting past neighbors and more actual space around you. The 16-acre development itself is compact enough that Deer Creek Park is an 11-minute walk away, but far enough removed that you're not hearing regular traffic; homes here run around $1.4M. When you need groceries or coffee, you're looking at a couple of miles down the road, which means most mornings don't happen in a rush. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 27 minutes away when you actually want it, and if the beach in Grand Haven is calling, you're looking at roughly the same drive—handy for a weekend mood swing without feeling locked into either pace.
