Martha St & Long Lake Rd Area
Easy outdoor access
Median $663K·Walkability 1.2/10·Schools 4.7/10
Where Long Lake Road curves through, you've got genuine breathing room—2,100 acres of it, with lots that run around 10 acres on average, so you're not living on top of your neighbors. Green Lake sits right at the edge of the area, and East Riverside Park is just a two-minute walk if you need a quick outdoor break. A coffee shop lands less than a mile away, and the grocery store is under a mile too, so daily errands don't eat up half your day, even though you're about 50 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. There are a couple of parks within a mile's reach, which means green space isn't hard to find when you want it. It's the kind of stretch where you get room to spread out without feeling completely cut off from what you need.
