Centennial Farm Plat
Walkable and connected
Median $386K·Walkability 6.3/10·Schools 4.5/10
...and it's the kind of subdivision where four acres actually feels like room to breathe, even though you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that a commute is basically a formality—seven and a half minutes, door to door. The lots here average just under a third acre, which means you get genuine space without the isolation, homes running around $386K on mostly Ranch and Cape Cod bones from the fifties and sixties. A coffee shop or restaurant is a five-minute walk, and there's a dog park ten minutes away if you need one, but the real draw is the trees and the rolling terrain that makes Shawmut Hills feel a little removed from the city grid even though you're technically inside it. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and if you actually need to leave—say, the airport—you're looking at about twenty-four and a half minutes.
