Lakewood Park
Great schools with outdoor access
Walkability 2.6/10·Schools 10.0/10
You'll know Lakewood Park by the lake views that peek through from nearly every corner—Campau Lake sits just a third of a mile away, close enough that the water feels like part of the neighborhood's DNA. This 4-acre subdivision sits in Garbow Plat Area with modest lots averaging about 5,600 square feet, and homes here run around $262K. The location works hard for you: Gerald R. Ford Airport is 13 minutes away, downtown Grand Rapids hits 26 minutes, and there are 18 restaurants within a mile—everything from quick stops to sit-downs that don't require a car trip. Campau Lake's public access and boat launch are walking distance, and Caledonia Community Schools serves the area. It's the kind of spot where you get lake proximity without the isolation—close to the lake, close to the city, close enough to real dining and amenities that you're not relying on a single anchor.
