What catches people off guard about Candlewick Estates is how much there is to walk to. The subdivision spreads across thirty acres with lots averaging just under half an acre, the kind of size that lets you have real ground without feeling isolated. Homes here run around $711K, and you're within a five-minute walk of restaurants—there are one hundred fifty-six of them within a mile—or a quick stroll to grocers and coffee shops. The nearest park sits about a mile and a half away, and Gerald R. Ford airport is eleven minutes by car; downtown Grand Rapids takes sixteen.
