Closterhouse & Woolstons Plat of the Highlands

Most people hear "subdivision in West Michigan" and picture vinyl ranch houses squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder on quarter-acre lots. Closterhouse & Woolstons Plat of the Highlands is the opposite—51 acres where homes sit on an average of 1.71 acres each, so you've actually got land around you. Homes here run around $391K, and the setting keeps things spacious without pushing you into the middle of nowhere: downtown Grand Rapids is just 10.7 minutes away, a restaurant is a 6-minute walk, and Lamoreaux Park sits 4 minutes on foot. The neighborhood anchors into Greenview Plat Area and feeds into Comstock Park Public Schools. With 186 restaurants within a mile and 6 parks equally close, the trade-off is clear—you get breathing room *and* access. A boat launch at Comstock Riverside Park sits 1.9 miles south if you're the type to keep a kayak in the garage.
