Strong schools draw families here
Median $685K·Walkability 1.8/10·Schools 8.2/10
If you're driving out here, you'll notice the land first—30 acres with homes sitting on lots that average 1.19 acres each, which means you're getting real breathing room without feeling remote. Stauffer's Cove is in the Kennedys Add. Area, about 28 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and just under 14 minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport, so the commute doesn't eat your day. Homes run around $685K, and they're positioned where you can actually step outside without immediately bumping into your neighbor's fence. There are 18 restaurants within a mile—everything from casual spots you can walk to in about 12 minutes to places you'll drive to—plus coffee shops, a grocery store right around the corner at 0.8 miles, and six more options within two miles if you're picky about where you shop. Schools fall under Caledonia Community Schools. The condo setup here keeps maintenance simpler than single-family ownership, which matters if you'd rather spend weekends doing something other than yard work.
