Little Crooked Lake
Highly rated schools nearby
Walkability 3.3/10·Schools 6.7/10
You wake up here and the first thing that hits different is the space—these lots run nearly an acre each on average, which means you're not hearing your neighbors' alarm clocks through the walls. It's the kind of room that changes how you move through a morning. The subdivision itself is small, just ten lots carved from what used to be highway, sitting in the Cameron Plat Area west of the city. Downtown Grand Rapids is only 13 minutes away, which means you get that breathing room without sacrificing access—you can be at a restaurant in about 15 minutes on foot, and there are 78 of them within a mile if you're tired of your own kitchen. Six parks within walking distance round out the outdoor options. Northview Public Schools covers the area, and the whole setup gives you that rare combination of actual land and actual proximity to everything else.
