You can move through Broadmoor Acres at a comfortable pace—a quick walk gets you to a coffee shop in about 9 minutes, and there's a restaurant within a 7-minute stroll. The subdivision sits on 13 acres in the 68th St & Egan Ave Area, close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport that you're looking at just 5.6 minutes to the terminal, while downtown Grand Rapids is a straightforward 22-minute drive. Twenty-four restaurants within a mile give you real choices without feeling cramped. Homes here start in the low $600s, and Caledonia Community Schools serves the area. LEPARD PRESERVE is just over a mile away if you want green space, and grocery shopping is about three miles out.
