Allendale

Community Overview

Best known as the home to Grand Valley State University (GVSU) Lakers, Allendale offers suburban living, properties with acreage, and the vibrant atmosphere of a college town. Situated comfortably between Grand Rapids and Lake Michigan, you’re never more than 20 minutes from urban entertainment or sandy beaches depending on how the mood strikes you. Catch a football game at Lubbers Stadium, home of GVSU’s multi-national champion team, and celebrate with a drink at the Main Street Pub. The Grand Ravines is a great place to go for a walk with your dog or get some family photos in front of the rustic red barn. Move here and you’ll likely become a Laker for life!
