Allen Farm
Easy outdoor access
Walkability 4.1/10·Schools 3.8/10
Allen Farm is a 54-acre platted subdivision in Wyoming, anchored by something you won't find everywhere: a transit stop right at the edge of the property. That kind of car-optional access shapes how a neighborhood actually feels day-to-day, and here it means a quick ride downtown to Grand Rapids in about 10 minutes, or out to Gerald R. Ford Airport in just under 16. The subdivision itself sits surrounded by real density—42 restaurants and 54 grocery stores within a mile or so, including a coffee shop and a grocery less than a mile away. Phillips Memorial Park is a 13-minute walk if you want green space, and there are three parks within a mile for closer options. Students here attend New Branches Charter Academy.
