Your commute to downtown Grand Rapids hits just over 11 minutes, which means you can actually have a life outside the car without pretending you're content sitting in traffic. The 4 Mile Road and I-96 corridor is the kind of place where restaurants literally surround you—252 within a mile—and you're steps from a transit stop, so the usual suburban car-dependency arguments fall away pretty fast. Homes here run around $312K, which buys you access to a neighborhood that doesn't make you choose between convenience and breathing room.
