Douglas Plaza

The moment you turn onto the property, you feel the openness—10 acres laid out with room to breathe, the kind of space that doesn't crowd you the way older subdivisions do. Douglas Plaza sits right where West Lakewood Boulevard and North River Avenue meet, which means you're genuinely close to things without feeling hemmed in by them. A restaurant is just a 2-minute walk away, and there are over 100 within a mile if you want options on a Friday night. Beechwood Park is a 7-minute walk for when you want green space, and the nearest transit stop sits another 7 minutes on foot—helpful if you're commuting into Grand Rapids or heading anywhere else on the bus. Homes here run around $180,000 to $350,000, depending on what you're looking at, which gives you actual flexibility in what you choose.
