Chippewa Hills

Chippewa Hills sits on 26 acres in North Park with lot sizes averaging just over half an acre, giving you actual breathing room without feeling disconnected from the neighborhood around you. Homes here run around $343K, and you're only about 12 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you need the city—but there's enough green space nearby that you won't feel like you're living in it. The nearest grocery is a five-minute walk, and you've got restaurants and coffee within spitting distance, so errands don't require much planning. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the subdivision, and if you're the outdoorsy type, Lamberton Lake Fen Nature Preserve is practically next door at a three-minute walk, with four parks clustered within a mile. Transit access is surprisingly strong for a residential area, with a bus stop five minutes on foot, which takes some of the pressure off having to drive everywhere.
