A suburban escape from downtown Holland
Holland Heights puts a suburban spin on downtown Holland’s energetic lifestyle. “Holland Heights is very easy to move into,” says Vaughn Greathouse, a Grand Rapids local and a Realtor with Five Star Real Estate, who has sold more than 100 homes in West Michigan. “You’re close to downtown, you’re close to the highway, and you’re close to Zeeland,” making Holland Heights an accessible area for commuters. The park-filled community sits only a few miles away from all the window shopping, restaurants and cultural attractions downtown, blending quiet natural spaces with proximity to exciting annual events and major employment centers. Employees can easily reach major offices 30 miles away in Grand Rapids, while beachgoers enjoy a quick 10-mile trip west to Ottawa Beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. “Holland is a special place,” Greathouse says. “I’m a little biased, having grown up in Holland, but I’ve traveled quite a bit, and there’s something about Holland that just feels like home.”
Holland Heights is located a short drive away from Downtown Holland and Lake Michigan.
Many newly-built Craftsman and Traditional-style homes are found in Holland Heights.

Holland in bloom
One of Holland’s most notable events is the Tulip Time Festival, which honors the community’s Dutch history with elaborate tulip displays, parades and a carnival each spring. “There are different parades, a kids’ parade and a big parade, and local schools and bands play,” says Kristen Carini, a lifetime local and agent at family-owned Carini Realtors. “There’s kind of always something to do,” she says, noting the many seasonal markets, outdoor summer concerts and Art in the Park, a local arts fair held in the center of the city at Centennial Park.

Holland Heights’ midcentury models
Holland Heights’ suburban appeal is highlighted by wide residential streets lined with neat sidewalks. Brick ranch-style homes with midcentury modern touches give a nod to the community’s original 1950s developments, while newer construction often includes traditional split-levels and charming colonial builds. Most properties offer three bedrooms and around 2,000 square feet of living space along with spacious lots that accommodate private pools and large outdoor patios, something buyers won’t typically find along downtown Holland’s densely packed streets. Buyers can expect homes to sell in the $250,000 to $350,000 range, although a few standout properties with additional bedrooms and square footage can tip the scales closer to $400,000.
Split-level homes, often with midcentury modern features, can be found in Holland Heights.

Tastings at Van Raalte’s sugar shack
Whether it’s hiking the Macatawa Greenway Trail and playing disc golf or fishing and kayaking on the Macatawa River, residents of Holland Heights know they can do just about anything outdoorsy at 172-acre Paw Paw Park. Great Blue Herons are often spotted amid the wetlands in spring, while winter brings a flock of cross-country skiers to the snowy slopes. Centered on an 1872 farmhouse, the 160-acre Van Raalte Farm Park offers space for spring picnics, summer gatherings, fall hikes and winter sledding. The park is also home to a sugar shack offering demonstrations and maple syrup tastings and a spacious dog park.
