Solid value in a growing area

Catch this place on a late afternoon when the light hits the modest homes just right—that's when you see what five acres of compact platting is really about. Buist Plat sits tight in the Homecrest Area, with lots averaging just over a quarter-acre each, the kind of density that keeps everything walkable without feeling cramped. Coffee's a five-minute walk, and there are 42 restaurants within a mile, so you're never far from a meal or a reason to leave the house. Godwin Heights Public Schools serves the area, and Hillcroft Park is right there at a five-minute stroll if you need green space fast. Downtown Grand Rapids sits about 9 minutes away by car, close enough that you're not choosing between suburb and city—you get both. Homes here run around $222K, and with a transit stop equally close as the coffee shop, location does most of the heavy lifting.
