This compact 5-acre community offers an impressive walkability score with excellent transit access and abundant nearby amenities. Residents enjoy generous quarter-acre lots that provide more space than typical urban properties, creating a suburban feel while maintaining city convenience.

The location excels in daily living essentials, with 14 restaurants within walking distance and multiple grocery options just minutes away. Coffee shops and fitness facilities are easily accessible, while Bowen Station Park and four other parks within a mile provide recreational opportunities. The area serves families through Kentwood Public Schools, and the balanced mix of owner-occupied homes creates a stable residential environment.

This area works well for those seeking larger lots with urban convenience, professionals who value transit access, and residents who prioritize walkable dining and shopping options over extensive outdoor recreation.
