The Cottages of Stegman Creek
Strong schools draw families here
Median $558K·Walkability 2.6/10·Schools 6.8/10
So what really gets you about the Cottages of Stegman Creek is the acreage—these are sprawling lots, nearly an acre each, spread across seven acres total. It's the kind of space where you can actually breathe, where your neighbor isn't right on top of you but isn't so far away that you're isolated either. Homes here run around $558K, and you're in the us-131-fwy-edgerton-ave-area just north of the city, which means downtown Grand Rapids is about 24 minutes away when you need it, but most days you're living in something that feels genuinely removed. Trestle Park is a nine-minute walk if you want a quick outdoor fix, and the Rogue River boat launch is less than a mile off, so there's water access without the waterfront premium you'd pay elsewhere. Coffee's about a mile down the road, and actual restaurants show up around the 1.4-mile mark—close enough to not feel stranded, far enough that you're not hearing kitchen noise at night.
