What people expect from a subdivision called Lake Forest Sub and what they actually get are two different things—there's no lake, and the forest is really just the wooded lots that anchor this thirteen-acre stretch in the Bay Meadows Area. The homes run around five hundred seventy-five thousand dollars on average, spread across about a third of an acre each. A coffee shop sits less than a mile away, and a restaurant follows shortly after, so you're not completely isolated despite the suburban feel. West Ottawa Public School District serves the area, and if you're counting the minutes, Grand Haven's beach is about twenty-nine minutes south when you need sand and water that actually exists.
