Westside
From lakeside mansions to modest condos
Westside offers the full spectrum of Holland home prices. “There’s certainly a luxury market, but you can also find more modest condos on that side of the city,” says Doug Klaasen, a Realtor with Keller Williams who has over 27 years of experience in the area. Condos start at $225,000, and single-family homes typically sell from $300,000 to $400,000. However, luxury waterfront properties with private docks can range from $1 million to $5 million. Some houses along the lake or creek have a slight risk of flooding. Westside has several distinct neighborhoods, including Cobblestone, a master-planned development with townhome options, and Central Park, a tight-knit waterside community just off South Shore Drive. “South Shore Drive is mega upscale — the DeVos and Van Andel families live there,” Habsburg says.Kids can attend local schools or get a private education at Holland Christian
Most of the neighborhood is zoned for Holland West Elementary School, which receives a B-plus grade from Niche, followed by Holland Middle, rated B-minus, and Holland High, rated B-plus. Holland High offers dual enrollment with Davenport University, allowing students to graduate high school with an associate's degree. The neighborhood is also home to faith-based Pine Ridge Elementary, Holland Christian Middle School and Holland Christian High School. The high school receives a B-plus from Niche, which ranks it second in Allegan County for athletes.Trails, summer camps and exhibits at the nearby nature center
The Degraaf Nature Center offers wooded trails, educational programs and summer camps. The visitors center is undergoing renovations and is expected to reopen in 2025 with new exhibits and updated displays.Although Holland is known as a waterside community, Westside residents without a private dock are over a mile from the nearest public lake access. Two miles north, Kollen Park has a boat launch and boardwalk that connects to the city. “There’s a strong boating community in Holland,” Klaasen says. “If you don’t have a personal dock, there are also a number of marinas for boat storage.”
Shop local at neighborhood markets
On the lakeshore, Central Park Market is a small grocery store with a big selection, including gourmet cheeses, deli meats and fresh produce. Along Washington Avenue, family-owned Nature’s Market specializes in organic, locally sourced foods. Washington Avenue also has a few chain restaurants and a Family Fare Supermarket. For more shopping and dining, downtown Holland is about 3 miles north.Bike-friendly streets connect to downtown Holland
Most of Holland is bike-friendly, and Westside is no exception. Major roads like South Shore Drive and 32nd Street have designated bike lanes that run a few miles into downtown. The city’s MAX bus service stops throughout the neighborhood.Grand Rapids, about 30 miles away, is home to the region’s only major airport, Gerald R. Ford International. The major city is accessible via Interstate 196, a few miles south of Westside. For emergency trips, Holland Hospital is directly to the east, less than a mile from many homes.
