Center Park South

If someone asks what Center Park South is on the way over, you'd say: a condo community on six acres where homes run around $377K and you're fifteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Beyond that, it's the kind of place where you've got a restaurant within an eight-minute walk—six of them within a mile, actually—and a coffee shop at twelve minutes, which means you can stop pretending you drink instant in the morning. Douglas Walker County Park is a ten-minute walk away if you need to remember what grass looks like, and there are two more parks within a mile for when the first one gets too crowded with the same idea. The nearest grocery is about a mile and a half out, which isn't exactly next door but won't kill you, and you've got six options within two miles if you're the type to comparison-shop milk prices. Byron Center Public Schools handles the schools. It's all in the Marlo Farms Area, just west of the city proper, close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport that a twenty-minute drive gets you there—which matters if you're the kind of person who actually uses that airport instead of just thinking about it while stuck in traffic.
