Lake Michigan Dr. Estates
Solid value in a growing area
Median $369K·Walkability 5.2/10·Schools 4.5/10
What surprises people about this place is how much green space and proximity to amenities you get on just a third of an acre. Lake Michigan Dr. Estates sits within John Ball Park, where nearly half the neighborhood is parks and open land, yet you're still a six-minute drive from downtown Grand Rapids. The subdivision clusters forty-two restaurants and a grocery within a mile, a coffee shop and transit stop both under ten minutes on foot, and a dog park another ten minutes past that. Homes here run around $369K, and the school district is Grand Rapids Public Schools.
