Cutler Gardens Area

If the homes here keep popping up on quiet dead-end streets with fenced yards and detached garages, you're getting the picture: this is the sort of place where a quarter-acre lot and room to breathe still feel like a find. The area sits in Byron township, just 14 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, with Kentwood Public Schools serving the neighborhood. Within a short walk you'll hit a grocery store, over a hundred restaurants, and Ideal Park, plus a transit stop just steps away—which means you're not marooned if you'd rather not drive.
