Early evening light hits these ten acres just right, warming the brick and catching the tree canopy as neighbors pull into driveways. College Heights Plat sits in the van-elst-plat-area where you're fourteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and about the same to Gerald R. Ford airport—close enough to the city's pulse without losing the feel of something quieter. The Calvin University Ecosystem Preserve is a seven-minute walk away, and there are three parks within a mile if you need grass and sky on short notice. Homes here run around $412K, the kind of modest anchor that keeps the neighborhood grounded. A restaurant is steps away, and 126 sit within a mile—everything from coffee shops to something more substantial. You've got grocery stores nearby, transit at your doorstep, and enough local density that you can walk for dinner. Ridge Park Charter Academy serves the area, and Reeds Lake is less than two miles if you want to drive somewhere with water.
