Country Gardens No.1
Room to spread out, great value
Median $473K·Walkability 5.1/10·Schools 4.8/10
It's a nine-acre plat of single-family homes in the Northeast area of Grand Rapids, built mostly in the mid-20th century, where lots average just over half an acre—enough room for a real yard and a two-car garage without the price tag that comes with newer subdivisions closer to downtown. Homes here run around $473K, and you're ten minutes or less from downtown Grand Rapids proper, which matters if you work or eat anywhere near the core; the airport is another seven or eight minutes past that. Ball Perkins Park sits a short walk away, the kind of place where old-growth trees still stand and you'll actually see deer and wild turkeys. The neighborhood has restaurants, coffee, and grocery stores within a mile or so in most directions—plenty of options without feeling like you're living on top of anything.
