Cascade Acres spreads across 54 acres along Cascade Road and Burton Street, a deliberately laid-out residential subdivision where homes typically run in the $300K–$400K range. Downtown Grand Rapids sits about 20 minutes south, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is roughly 18 minutes away—close enough to matter without the overhead of being too near. Three parks dot the immediate area, with Lions Park reachable on foot in about 14 minutes, and you've got 24 grocery stores within a two-mile radius, so daily errands don't require much of a drive. The nearest restaurant and coffee shop are each a little over a mile out, making casual dining and morning runs genuinely convenient. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the subdivision, and the location within the Cascade Road and Burton Street area keeps you in a straightforward, well-connected corner of the county.
