South Creek North
Strong schools draw families here
Median $554K·Walkability 1.4/10·Schools 9.0/10
...so what you're working with here is an 11-acre subdivision where lots average just under half an acre—enough breathing room without sprawl. Homes run around $554K, and the neighborhood sits in the 84th St & Hanna Lake Ave Area, which means you're about 15 minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport and 18 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids if you need either one. There are three parks within a mile, with Crystals Springs East Community Park a 12-minute walk away if you want somewhere to actually go. The nearest grocery is about two miles out, which is the real tell—you're driving for coffee and breakfast, but there are a dozen grocery stores scattered within the two-mile radius, so shopping isn't a puzzle. Cross Creek Charter Academy handles the schools here. The subdivision's compact enough to feel like its own thing without being so removed that errands turn into a trek.
