Thomas Watsons Add
Solid value in a growing area
Median $303K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 6.3/10
Thomas Watsons Add sits on 8 acres of modest lots—averaging just over 0.4 acres each—close enough to downtown Grand Rapids and Grand Haven that a 25-minute drive lands you either in the city or at the beach, depending on the day. The dining scene punches above its weight for a subdivision this size, with 18 restaurants within a mile and a coffee shop a four-minute walk away; a restaurant is basically next door. Main Street Park is a nine-minute walk if you need greenspace, and three parks cluster nearby. Homes here run around $406K, which puts them in reach for a lot of buyers who want to be somewhere between rural and urban without the sprawl. Coopersville Area Public School District serves the area.
