72nd Avenue & Chicago Drive Area

This is where you come when you want space to breathe. The area stretches across nearly 6,000 acres of rolling countryside, where your nearest neighbor might be acres away and that's exactly how you like it. With median lots averaging over two acres, this isn't suburban living—it's rural sanctuary with the convenience of being close to everything. You're just minutes from downtown Zeeland and easily reach both Holland and Grand Rapids when city life calls.

The housing here tells a story of intentional living. New construction from builders like Baumann dominates the landscape, with developments like Harvest Fields offering modern homes on pond lots and open concept living that maximizes those countryside views. But you'll also find established ranch homes on sprawling lots, complete with pole barns, workshops, and enough room for hobby farming. Many properties come with multiple outbuildings—perfect for storing everything from tractors to weekend toys. The housing stock runs the gamut from cozy farmhouses to executive-style builds, all unified by generous lot sizes and that sense of elbow room.

Don't expect to walk to your morning coffee—this is decidedly car-friendly territory where what's nearby means a pleasant drive through farmland rather than a quick stroll. But that's part of the appeal. You've got just 7 restaurants within a mile, but they're the kind of local spots worth the drive. When you need more options, Zeeland's downtown core is less than five minutes away, and you can reach Grand Rapids for work or weekend adventures without the stress of living in the thick of it.

This area attracts families who want their kids to attend Zeeland Public Schools while having room for trampolines, gardens, and maybe a few chickens. You'll find young professionals who work remotely and appreciate the quiet, plus empty nesters who've earned their space. If you're the type who sees a 40x60 pole barn as an opportunity rather than an obstacle, and you'd rather hear roosters than traffic, you'll understand why people here talk about never wanting to leave.
