Expert take

"Families love Holland for the lake, the schools and a Latino community that's been here for generations. My advice: compare homes on both sides of 32nd Street — the county line changes your property tax and school options — and get pre-approved before spring, when Tulip Time season heats up the market." — LM Realty
