Misty Ridge No. 6

Misty Ridge Drive curves through a quiet cul-de-sac lined with homes built mostly in the last five years—granite kitchens, open floor plans, and fresh decks the default setting. The neighborhood sits in the Thornapple Kellogg School District, about 21 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport and comfortably within reach of downtown. Walk to restaurants and shops in nearby Middleville, or hit Lions Spring Park in under 10 minutes on foot; there are seven parks within a mile of here. The homes tend toward spacious layouts—four and five bedrooms aren't unusual—with room to stretch out on the lots and driveways clearly made for real use. It's the kind of place where people actually finish basements and add decking, and the sales history shows it: owners stay and improve.
