LA TAJ
Walkable and connected
Walkability 7.0/10·Schools 4.7/10
Sitting along James Street in Holland charter township, LA TAJ is a 2-acre condo community that trades isolation for access. You're steps from transit and a quick walk to groceries and restaurants—the kind of setup that works when you don't want to drive everywhere but also don't want downtown noise. The walkability here skews practical: errands run smooth at a 7.1, dining lands at a 5.7 (there are 228 restaurants within a mile, but not all live next door), and fitness options cluster around a 6.5. A coffee shop is a 7-minute walk, the nearest grocery a 5-minute one. Grand Haven beach sits 27 minutes south if you're in the mood for water; downtown Grand Rapids is 37 minutes north. Homes here run around $245,500 in median value, and the community sits near Riley Ridge Owners Association Private Park, about a mile away. The real amenity is the location itself—you get suburban breathing room on 2 acres without being stranded, with Eagle Crest Charter Academy serving the schools here and the township's bike path network and parks system filling in the recreational gaps.
