Welcome Acres No. 1
Great schools with outdoor access
Walkability 0.5/10·Schools 8.0/10
Just north of Hastings, this quiet country neighborhood sits on tree-lined roads where properties open onto wooded settings and modest acreage—the kind of place where a half-acre lot feels genuinely spacious. Homes here tend toward ranch and ranch-walkout styles, many with fireplaces and decks perfect for taking in the surrounding landscape; a few have pools and hot tubs nestled into fenced yards. Twin Lakes lies less than a mile away, and Leach Lake Public Access is close enough for a short walk. Grocery and dining run about 2.5 to 3 miles down the road, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is roughly 35 minutes south, which means you're country enough to breathe but not so remote that errands become expeditions.
