    Living in Grand Haven, MI

    Affectionately known to the locals as the “Happiest Seaside Town,” Grand Haven, MI, is located in the suburbs of Grand Rapids and more than deserves its name. With its pier and quaint beach town feel, renters will feel like they’re on vacation year-round, while still remaining within easy distance of the amenities of a big city. For instance, renters who appreciate spending some time in the great outdoors can take advantage of the extensive network of parks and biking trails or explore the hiking trails across dunes, beaches and forests. However, Michigan’s winters are notoriously harsh, making this the perfect time to explore the historic downtown, which boasts locally owned shops and restaurants, as well as numerous festivals year-round. For renters with young children, finding a rental apartment in Grand Haven will also give them access to a highly rated public school district and an abundance of family-friendly activities. That said, it’s a good idea to stay aware of your surroundings when heading back to your rental apartment late at night.
