The real draw here is how close you are to the water—six minutes to Grand Haven beach, which means you can actually live somewhere wooded and still catch the sunset on Lake Michigan without planning your whole evening around the drive. The subdivision itself sits on about six acres with generous lots averaging just over half an acre, giving you real breathing room without feeling remote. You're within walking distance of DePersia South Highlands Nature Preserve, and there's a solid cluster of restaurants and shops nearby—42 restaurants within a mile speaks to the kind of access that makes it easy to skip cooking on a Tuesday. Homes here run around $631K, and they're zoned for Grand Haven Area Public Schools. It's the kind of place where you get the calm of a wooded residential street but aren't stranded when you actually want to go somewhere.
