Brookside Acres
Room to spread out, great value
Median $508K·Walkability 5.1/10·Schools 4.2/10
What catches people off guard about Brookside Acres is how much breathing room you get on half-acre lots without feeling stranded—you're only 16.5 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, and Cole Park is a six-minute walk away when you want to get outside. The subdivision itself spans six acres with two parks within a mile, so there's actual green space to anchor the place rather than just a cluster of driveways.
