Ben E. West Add.

Lake Drive winds through Ben E. West Add., a seven-acre subdivision with large lots—each running just over an acre—that command median home values around $1.9M. The area is part of the Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, a quieter pocket that stays close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (8.5 minutes by car) without feeling hemmed in. Remington Park is a five-minute walk, and Reeds Lake is 0.8 miles away for water access and recreation. Groceries and coffee shops land within a nine-minute walk, and over 180 restaurants dot the surrounding mile, though the neighborhood itself keeps a low profile. Schools fall under East Grand Rapids Public Schools, and transit access—a six-minute walk to the nearest stop—means you're not entirely car-dependent if you don't want to be.
