...and that's where Oak Valley Estates sits — nine acres of modest lots, each around a third of an acre, with homes running about $465K, close enough to restaurants and a grocery that you're never far from what you need on foot, yet still spread out enough to feel like you've got room to breathe. The nearest coffee shop is three minutes away, a transit stop two minutes, and if the mood strikes for Grand Haven's beach, you're looking at about half an hour's drive. Lighthouse Academy serves the area, and there's Windmill Island Gardens less than a mile off if you want a proper walk through gardens and tulips without leaving the immediate neighborhood. The dining scene around here runs deep — 156 restaurants within a mile speaks for itself — so you won't be cooking every night unless you want to. It's the kind of subdivision where you get the convenience of a walkable radius without feeling hemmed in, situated in the James Street & US-31 Southbound Area where things actually function without needing to be dramatic about it.
