Chase Farms No. 2
Strong schools draw families here
Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 8.0/10
Driving through Chase Farms No. 2 puts you on a 22-acre spread in the Byron Oaks No. 2 Area, where you're roughly 16.5 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and just over 20 minutes to Gerald R. Ford Airport—close enough to the city without feeling like you're in it. Three parks sit within a mile, and Douglas Walker Park is about a 10-minute walk if you want to stretch your legs. Shopping and dinner aren't far; the nearest grocery lands at a mile out, with six stores within two miles, while restaurants and coffee spots hover around the 1.1-mile mark. Homes here run in the mid-to-high $300s, and they're fed by Byron Center Public Schools. It's the kind of spot where suburban living means actual space without the drive-everywhere penalty.
