...and that's basically why we landed in Braeside Estates. It's a 35-acre subdivision that gives you actual breathing room without feeling cut off—downtown Grand Rapids is just 25 minutes away when you need it, and Gerald R. Ford airport is under 40 minutes. There's a park less than a mile out, plus another one nearby, so you're not hauling the gear far. Grocery stores and thirty-some restaurants all within a mile or two keep life simple; the closest coffee shop is about a mile down the road.
