Lake Drive curves along the private shoreline of Fisk Lake, where Ben E. West Add. sits on seven acres of large lots—each running just over an acre—that command median home values around $1.9M. The subdivision 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 sits about a mile north for water access beyond the private lakefront. 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.
