C.H. Demings Add.

The platted lots here average just under a third of an acre—small enough that you're not spending your whole weekend on yard work, but with enough space to breathe. It's a 7-acre subdivision where homes run around $379K, and you're about 20 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you want the city, or 10 minutes to Gerald R. Ford if you're catching a flight. There's a restaurant within a three-minute walk, and a dozen more within a mile, so you're not starving for options. Dutton Shadyside Park is a quick walk away if you need to get outside, and Caledonia Community Schools handles the education side. The area's car-dependent by design—your nearest coffee shop is a couple miles out—but that's typical for this part of West Michigan, and it comes with the trade-off of having actual land instead of townhouses stacked on top of each other.
