Pointview Plat
Great schools with outdoor access
Walkability 1.6/10·Schools 8.0/10
Driving through Pointview Plat, you're moving through modest, tightly-spaced lots on what feels like a neighborhood just serious enough about itself to have been platted—six acres carved into neat parcels averaging less than half an acre each. The draw here is immediate and literal: Big Crooked Lake sits just a tenth of a mile away, close enough that waterfront access shapes everything, and the Murray Lake Launch is a quick 2.1 miles down the road if you're towing a boat. Homes run around $629K, and you're within Lowell Area Schools territory, with downtown Grand Rapids about 38 minutes off. The nearest county park sits less than two miles away. It's the kind of small plat that works because it's honest about what it is—not trying to be something larger, just a collection of homes with their backs turned toward the water.
