Great schools with outdoor access
Median $1.3M·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 8.0/10
The lots here are tight—quarter-acre parcels on an 8-acre plat where homes run around $911K—but you're just minutes from the Grand Haven waterfront and in reach of over 50 restaurants within a mile, so the trade-off feels intentional rather than cramped. Spring Lake Public Schools serves the area, and you've got a grocery store roughly a 14-minute walk away when you need it, plus a dozen shops within two miles. There's Alden Street End Park practically next door for when you want to step outside, and Spring Lake itself sits under two miles south if you're in the mood for actual water. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 40 minutes away, which feels reasonable for a weekend trip but far enough that you're living in your own pocket rather than commuting into it.
