Lakewood Estates
Solid value in a growing area
Median $340K·Walkability 1.4/10·Schools 4.7/10
Out here you're practically on top of Duck Lake—less than a quarter-mile away—so if you're the type who wants water access without the full lakefront commitment, this stretch delivers that right from your driveway. The neighborhood sits on good-sized lots with room to breathe, and the nearest grocery run is about three miles out, which means you're close enough to town for what you need but far enough that you're genuinely in the countryside. Long Lake Public Access is just over a mile down the road if you want to launch a boat or fish somewhere different, and you're roughly 45 minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport, so weekend trips don't feel like a production. What draws people here is the combination: enough land to feel like you own something real, lake access within spitting distance, and that rural feel without being completely isolated.
