Kosters Sub No 1
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $539K·Walkability 4.9/10·Schools 7.0/10
If someone asks where you live, you just say the name and let the location do the talking—you're about twenty-five minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, nestled in Dewpointe East Area, with the beach at Grand Haven less than half an hour away. Kosters Sub No 1 is a four-acre subdivision where homes sit on lots around a third of an acre each, giving you enough breathing room without sprawl. A grocery store is a three-minute walk, and a dozen restaurants within a mile means dinner is genuinely close by. Allendale Community Park is a five-minute walk if you want to stretch your legs, and Hidden Lake sits about a mile and a quarter out for weekend trips.
