Lake Forest Sub No 2
Strong schools draw families here
Median $736K·Walkability 1.7/10·Schools 7.0/10
Drive west through Bay Meadows and you'll find Lake Forest Sub No 2 spread across eight acres—a subdivision where lots average around 0.40 acres and homes sit in the $736K range, close enough to a coffee shop and restaurant that you're not planning logistics just to eat dinner. Tunnel Park is an eight-minute walk, and there are six parks within a mile, which means someone cared about green space when they laid this out. The nearest grocery is 2.9 miles away, so you're shopping with intention rather than impulse. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area, and the drive to Grand Haven beach runs about thirty minutes—far enough that you're choosing the beach day, not stumbling into it. It's the kind of place where the land itself is the point: enough room to breathe without being so spread out that you're stranded.
