TOWNHOMES AT SOUTHSHORE ON MA

Golden hour hits this place right around dusk, when the low sun catches the water at Heinz Waterfront Walkway—a four-minute walk away—and the brick facades of the townhomes warm up like they've been waiting all day for it. You're looking at a one-acre community in Henevelds Supervisors Plat No 28 Area where the architecture doesn't apologize, and neither does the location. Lake Macatawa sits about a mile and a half off, but what matters more is that a restaurant is two minutes on foot, a transit stop is equally close, and there are two dozen more dining options within walking distance if you're the type to browse. Four parks within a mile means you're not short on green space—this is West Michigan, after all, where water and trees aren't marketing language.
