What might surprise you is that this rural stretch along the Thornapple River sits just 10 minutes from 28th Street—close enough to reach Grand Rapids quickly, yet far enough out to feel genuinely removed from the hustle. The homes here tend toward the spacious side, often set on wooded acreage or along the water, with newer construction mixed in alongside properties from the 1970s and '80s. You'll find custom kitchens, stone fireplaces, and the kind of lot sizes that let you actually breathe, whether that's a couple acres or ten-plus with your own pond and stream.
