This quiet residential area spans 15 acres in Kent County, offering a peaceful retreat from busier parts of Grand Rapids. With generous lot sizes and low-density development, residents enjoy plenty of space and privacy. The community sits within the well-regarded Rockford Public Schools district, which maintains a strong 7.4/10 average rating across its schools.

While the location prioritizes tranquility over walkability, it provides easy access to outdoor recreation with Evergreen Forrest nearby and Grand Isle Lake just 2.5 miles away. Four boat launches within five miles make water activities readily accessible for boating and fishing enthusiasts. The area works exceptionally well for families seeking spacious properties in a quality school district, empty nesters wanting peaceful surroundings, and anyone who values privacy while maintaining reasonable access to nearby amenities and outdoor recreation opportunities.
