Driving or biking through this stretch feels purposeful—wide roads built for getting places, industrial warehouses and service buildings marking the landscape, and the kind of open space that lets you see what's happening around you. It's not dense, but it's not remote either; a grocery store is a two-minute walk, and restaurants are close enough to reach on foot, with around sixty dining options within a mile. A transit stop sits right at your doorstep, and downtown Grand Rapids is a sixteen-minute drive when you need it.
