Applewood Acres Plat Number One
Strong schools draw families here
Walkability 1.8/10·Schools 7.6/10
Applewood Acres Plat Number One surprises people by existing at all—a 15-acre subdivision tucked into the Belmont Ave & Northland Dr Area, where you'd half expect strip mall zoning instead of actual houses. Homes run in the low $300Ks, and they're served by Rockford Public Schools. The nearest grocery is less than two miles away—there are a dozen within that radius—and restaurants and coffee shops are roughly the same distance, so errands don't require a long drive. Evergreen Forrest park is a 9-minute walk if you want green space without leaving the subdivision. Downtown Grand Rapids sits about 22 minutes down the road, and Gerald R. Ford airport is just under 31 minutes away. If you actually fish or boat, the Rockford-Rogue River Launch is two miles out, which means you're close enough to use it without making a weekend of the drive.
