Bridlewood

Bridlewood sits on 21 acres of wooded terrain near the intersection of Knapp and Egypt Valley, where the lots run large—averaging nearly two acres each—and the homes reflect serious investment, typically in the $1.1 million range. The setting feels removed from the usual suburban rush, though downtown Grand Rapids is only about 17 minutes away when you need it, and you're close enough to grab dinner or groceries without thinking twice about the drive. The Forest Hills Public Schools district serves the area, and there's water access for boating enthusiasts at Knapp Street Bridge, just under two miles down the road if that's your thing.
