Eldred Park

The real draw here is how close you are to Bostwick Lake—it's just a few hundred feet away—and with Balk Family County Park less than a mile down the road, you've got easy access to green space without feeling removed from things. It's a tight 4-acre plat with modest lots around 0.15 acres, so homes pack in at around $233K and sit within Rockford Public Schools. A handful of grocers and restaurants are within a couple miles, and downtown Grand Rapids is just over half an hour away, which means you're close enough to tap the city without living in it. The real character here is that small-subdivision feel—short streets, neighbors you actually see—paired with genuine water access and county park amenities nearby.
