Chris Carpenter Plat
Great schools with outdoor access
Walkability 0.9/10·Schools 10.0/10
You're looking at three acres of residential plat land in the Garbow Plat Area, where you wake up and you're genuinely close to water—Campau Lake sits 1.7 miles away. The setup works because Gerald R. Ford Airport is only 12.5 minutes away, which means your commute doesn't eat your life, and downtown Grand Rapids is a reasonable 27-minute drive when you want to be in the mix. Schools fall under Caledonia Community Schools, and there's a proper recreation area at LaBarge Dam about 1.4 miles off. Shopping and restaurants are close enough—the nearest sits 1.4 miles away, groceries a bit further at three miles—so you're not stranded, but you're also not hemmed in by strip centers either. It's the kind of small subdivision where you get land and reasonable access without feeling like you're in the thick of things.
