This stretch sits just inland from Lake Michigan—close enough that a drive to the water takes under two minutes, far enough that you're not hearing foghorns at dawn. The neighborhood clusters around solid residential blocks with good road access, and you're steps away from restaurants when hunger strikes; there are 33 within a mile if you're feeling indecisive. A coffee shop is under a mile down the road for the mornings when you'd rather not brew at home.
