C.C. Comstock'S Diamond Plat

The straight grid of streets here feels almost plain until you notice the mature trees—old enough to arch over the pavement and make afternoon shade feel like a given rather than a luxury. C.C. Comstock's Diamond Plat sits within Plainfield charter township, a 3-acre slice of the larger suburb just north of Grand Rapids, where a dozen restaurants are within a mile and Dwight Lydell County Park is a six-minute walk away. Downtown Grand Rapids is roughly 10 minutes south; the airport runs about 27 minutes east. Comstock Park Public Schools serves the area, and homes here run in the low $300,000s. A coffee shop sits four minutes on foot, and if you want to launch a boat on the Grand River, Comstock Riverside Park is 2.3 miles out—close enough for a Saturday morning without feeling rushed.
