The Cottages of Bay Meadows

If someone asks you why you chose this place, the first thing out of your mouth is probably the space—thirty-two acres of it, spread across a community where each condo sits on its own piece of land. It's not cramped. You've got room to breathe, room to have actual outdoor space without feeling like you're on top of your neighbors. The grounds themselves are well-maintained, and Stu Visser Trails is just a short walk away when you want to get out even further. There are four parks within a mile, so whether you want a quick jaunt or a longer afternoon, you're covered. Lake Macatawa is under two miles out if you're in the mood for water.
