Carmon Knolls
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $682K·Walkability 3.5/10·Schools 8.4/10
Sitting on 11 acres off Ada Drive and East Fulton Street, Carmon Knolls feels tucked into one of West Michigan's quieter corners, yet you're only about 14 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and roughly the same distance to Gerald R. Ford International. The subdivision breaks into individual lots averaging 0.64 acres—enough breathing room without the sprawl—and homes here run around $682K. A dozen restaurants sit within walking distance, along with six grocery stores within a couple of miles, so you're not isolated despite the suburban feel. Carl Creek Wetlands Preserve is less than a mile away if you want to stretch your legs on a trail. Forest Hills Public Schools handles education in the area, and the whole setup hits that sweet spot where you've got real access to the city without feeling like you're living in it.
