This 16-acre platted subdivision sits in the 68th Street area with an average lot size of 1.12 acres—spacious enough that you're not watching your neighbor's evening news through the window, but compact enough to avoid feeling stranded. Homes here run around $424K, positioned roughly halfway between Gerald R. Ford Airport (about 15 minutes) and downtown Grand Rapids (27 minutes), which means reasonable access without the constant hum of either. Caledonia Community Schools serves the area, and if water access matters to you, Campau Lake is just 1.0 mile away—useful for anyone who thinks weekends belong on the water rather than in a driveway. The nearest restaurant sits 1.4 miles out, so you're not walking to dinner, but you're close enough that "let's grab food" doesn't turn into a production.
