The Preserve on Leonard Road
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $568K·Walkability 1.7/10·Schools 8.0/10
Most people expect a condo community to feel like a compromise—smaller lots, shared walls, the trade-off you make for convenience. The Preserve on Leonard Road flips that. Built across 11 acres with quarter-acre lots, it doesn't feel cramped. You get actual space around you, and Grand Haven's beaches are just under 11 minutes away by car, which means summer weekends don't require a road trip. Downtown Grand Rapids sits about 38 minutes off, far enough that you're not absorbing city noise but close enough that restaurants, galleries, and whatever else is happening isn't locked behind a long drive. River Run Park is a 4-minute walk, and there are three parks within a mile total—the kind of thing that matters when you're weighing whether a place actually connects to anything. Grocery stores cluster nearby (six within two miles), and restaurants and coffee shops sit around a mile out, so errands don't become adventures. Homes here run around $895K and sit within Spring Lake Public Schools, which means you're not sacrificing proximity to any of this for a smaller footprint. It's the rare condo community that feels less like a compromise and more like someone actually thought through what living here would actually feel like.
