E A Smith'S Plat of Brower Lake No.2

The first thing you notice about E A Smith's Plat of Brower Lake No.2 is the lake itself—Brower Lake sits just 0.3 miles away, and the Nature Preserve is a short stroll at about 13 minutes on foot. This 5-acre subdivision carved out modest lots averaging 0.30 acres each, so you get more neighbors than sprawl, which means the character here is genuinely small-scale and approachable. Homes run around $286K median, and you're about 26 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you need the city. The catch is that everyday errands—groceries, restaurants—aren't within arm's reach; the nearest grocery is 2.3 miles out, the nearest restaurant 2.4 miles. That's the trade-off: quieter, smaller lots, proximity to the water, but you'll want a car for most things. Schools fall under Rockford Public Schools, and the whole area sits in the Myers Lake Ave & 12 Mile Rd Area.
