Belshire Acres

You wake up here and you're already close to everything that matters—grocery's a quick walk, a couple decent restaurants within five minutes on foot, and you're hitting downtown Grand Rapids in under 17 minutes when you need to be there. The subdivision itself sits on 30 acres with lots averaging nearly four-fifths of an acre, so there's real breathing room between houses without feeling remote. Rockford Public Schools covers the area, and if you're into parks, there are ten within a mile, plus an unnamed one practically next door. Homes here run around $301K, which lands you in a solid spot near the Belmont Ave & Northland Dr area—close enough to actual amenities but far enough out that you're not paying city prices. If you boat, the Rogue River Mouth Launch is just over a mile away, and coffee's about 1.5 miles down the road when you need the real thing.
