Beech Grove

Beech Grove is a twenty-acre subdivision just west of Grand Rapids, about twenty-two minutes from downtown if you're heading that way. The homes here sit on lots averaging two-thirds of an acre—enough land to breathe without feeling isolated—and sell in the neighborhood of one point two million. The area has twelve grocery options within two miles, a coffee shop less than a mile away, and restaurants about the same distance out, so you're not dependent on a car for daily errands, though you'll have one anyway.
