Lakeview Estates No. 5

This twelve-acre subdivision sits within reach of Provin Trails Park and the everyday conveniences of a neighborhood where most residents own their homes outright. The median household here hovers around eighty-five thousand dollars, and a comfortable twenty-three-minute commute keeps the place tethered to Grand Rapids without feeling swallowed by it. Close by are the small anchors of community life—a coffee shop and restaurant within a half-mile, a grocery store just over the way—the kind of proximity that lets a neighborhood breathe on its own terms.
