Oakland Beach Park sits on 14 acres of platted lots averaging a third of an acre each—tight enough to keep things compact, loose enough that you're not staring directly into your neighbor's living room. Homes here run around $213K, and the subdivision feeds into Cedar Springs Public Schools. It's part of the larger E. Ware's Add. Area framework, which gives you the sense that this place has roots and structure beneath it.
