Plat of Port Sheldon Beach
Surrounded by nature
Median $1.9M·Walkability 4.0/10·Schools 6.0/10
Winding roads thread through sixty-seven acres of modest lots—each hovering around a third of an acre—where homes run around $821K and the scale feels neither cramped nor sprawling. Grand Haven's beaches are a twenty-minute drive west, while downtown Grand Rapids sits just under fifty minutes away, close enough for a weekend without feeling like you're living in someone else's backyard. Windsnest Park lies less than a mile off, and Sloan Pond sits about a mile beyond that, offering the kind of low-key water access that doesn't demand much planning. West Ottawa Public School District serves the area, anchoring this pocket of Port Sheldon Street Area with the practical rhythms of suburban life—no pretense, just solid ground and reasonable proximity to everything that matters.
