...so you've got a lot of actual land out here—nearly 18 square miles of it—and the water situation is kind of the whole point. Woodbeck Lake is right there, and the Muskegon River runs through the area, which means if you're the type to own riverfront or want a cottage with legitimate water access (we're talking 200+ feet of frontage on recent sales), this is where you find it. The listings tell the story: golf course homes on sprawling acreage, wooded lots that actually feel wooded, and properties where a creek in your backyard or a river view isn't a selling point—it's the default.
