You're about seventeen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you can catch the city's pull without living in it. Cottonwood Heights Sub No 1 spreads across 34 acres of the Broadview Gardens Area, with homes sitting on roughly third-of-an-acre lots—enough breathing room without feeling remote. Median home values hover around $471K, and the subdivision feeds into Jenison Public Schools. A dozen restaurants huddle within walking distance, and Maplewood Park sits a short walk away if you need green space in a hurry; three parks cluster within a mile radius. Groceries and coffee shops bookend the usual errands—less than two miles to either direction. The airport runs about thirty-two minutes south, which adds a layer of practical convenience when you need it.
