170th Ave & 6 Mile Rd Area
Solid value in a growing area
Median $395K·Walkability 0.8/10·Schools 4.7/10
Out here where 170th and 6 Mile intersect, the landscape opens up—rural and deliberate, with working land and modest homes spread across nearly 1,500 acres of West Michigan. A restaurant sits just a couple of minutes' walk away, close enough that you're not entirely removed from conveniences, yet far enough that the rhythm feels distinctly unhurried. Downtown Grand Rapids is under an hour's drive if you need the city, but most days the horizon stays local: timber, fields, and the occasional glimpse of Rustford Dam DNR Access about 3.6 miles south, where the water draws people out for fishing and quiet afternoons. This is the kind of stretch where you get genuine space—room to breathe, property that means something, and neighbors who are simply there because they chose the land itself, not the promise of something else nearby.
