Seven Pines Condo No 7

You'll want to catch this place around late afternoon, when the light hits just right and you realize you can walk to groceries and dinner without breaking a sweat—seven minutes to either, which matters more than you'd think after you've lived in a few other places. The transit stop is four minutes away if you need to get downtown or to the airport, and you're close enough to Grand Haven beach that a weekend doesn't feel like an expedition. It's not trying to be anything it isn't, just a compact condo community where the bones are practical and the location does the heavy lifting.
