River Hills Sub No 4

You're basically a two-minute walk from coffee and about the same from a decent restaurant, which means you can live here without pretending you enjoy cooking every night. The transit access is solid if you want it, and downtown Grand Rapids is close enough that you're not committed to the suburbs in the way some places demand—though fair warning, it's a car-dependent area overall, so you'll still find yourself driving for most things. There are six parks within a mile if you need greenery, and Grand Haven beach is under half an hour away when you want to remember what water looks like.
