Timberline Acres West No 5

The gravel crunches under your tires before the asphalt even starts, which tells you everything about how car-dependent this corner of the region is—you're looking at a solid 45-minute push to downtown Grand Rapids, and forget walking to coffee (that's a 23-minute trek). Timberline Acres West No 5 is residential subdivision land, the kind of place where you'll need wheels for pretty much everything except maybe a walk to Wendt Park if you're feeling ambitious. The West Ottawa school district serves the area, and you've got a couple of grocery stores within a couple miles if you're willing to drive. Grand Haven's beach is about 30 minutes south if you want to escape, which is something.
