Damore Plat

The lots here run just under half an acre, which means enough space to breathe without the upkeep of sprawling acreage—homes median around $620K and sit on what feels like genuine land for a neighborhood just 11 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The Highlands park is a five-minute walk, and you've got a dozen restaurants within a mile if you don't feel like cooking, with a grocery store about the same distance away. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and there's a transit stop right here if you need it, though most days you'll probably drive—the airport's under half an hour away when you need it.
