Belmont Gardens

The transit stop is essentially your front door—which might explain why this five-acre platted subdivision works as well as it does despite being nowhere near anything that sounds glamorous. Kelloggsville Public Schools serves the area, and groceries are a three-minute walk if you're the type who remembers to shop, though with sixty restaurants within a mile and a coffee shop eleven minutes down the road, cooking is clearly optional. Downtown Grand Rapids sits eleven minutes away by car, and Gerald R. Ford airport is sixteen—close enough that you're not sacrificing access, far enough that you're not dodging flight noise on weekends. Kelloggsville Park lands within an eight-minute walk, part of a five-park ecosystem in the immediate radius. Homes here run in the mid-$200s to low-$300s range, which is the part where you stop thinking about proximity as a bonus and start thinking about it as the actual reason you're here.
