Scotsmoor

The thing that stays with you about Scotsmoor is how much green feels within arm's reach—13 acres of condo living where you're never more than a walk or two from actual trees and water. Emmons Lake sits less than a mile away, and Caledonia Lakeside County Park is a nine-minute walk if you want a proper outing. There are five parks within a mile alone, which means the landscape here doesn't feel like you're trading space for the convenience of condo living. The community itself runs around $472K, and homes sit on lots averaging a quarter-acre—small enough to keep maintenance reasonable, big enough that you don't feel like you're stacked on top of anybody. A grocery is a 14-minute walk, and there are 30 restaurants within a mile, so you can actually run errands on foot without pretending it's some grand expedition.
