Pickerel Lake
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $510K·Walkability 2.2/10·Schools 9.3/10
You'll find this stretch defined by water—Sunfish Lake sits just a tenth of a mile away, and Pickerel Lake itself runs right along the edge, making it a natural draw for anyone who wants lake access without the fuss of a lengthy commute. The area spans about 121 acres and sits within the larger Cannonsburg Rd & Myers Lake Ave Area, which puts downtown Grand Rapids roughly 26 minutes out, or about 33 minutes to Gerald R. Ford airport if you're heading that direction. There are three parks within a mile, so getting outside doesn't require much planning—the lake is literally adjacent. A restaurant is just over a mile away, and groceries run about two miles, so daily life isn't far off. It's the kind of spot where water and proximity work in your favor.
