Clafor Plat Area sits right on a transit stop—which is kind of the whole story for a neighborhood this size. Within a mile, you've got 54 restaurants and 48 grocery stores, so you're basically breathing distance from the density of Wyoming city without feeling crowded into it. The nearest restaurants are literally steps away, and Plaster Creek is a five-minute walk if you need to shake off the day. Downtown Grand Rapids is just nine minutes out, so you're connected without the commute tax.
