Arboretum Villa No 2

You're looking at a residential subdivision south of the city where you'll need your car for basically everything—groceries, coffee, dining—but you're getting solid access to downtown Grand Rapids in under 20 minutes and the Medical Mile is even closer. Two parks sit within a mile, including one that's a quick walk away if you want to stretch your legs without a drive. It's the kind of place where you pick a house in the mid-$500Ks, settle in, and appreciate that you're close enough to the city's action when you want it but far enough out to breathe.
