Median $418K·Walkability 2.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
You pull onto a tree-lined street and immediately feel the difference—mature oaks and maples frame modest mid-century homes set back on spacious lots, the kind of place where driveways actually have room to breathe. Elm Ridge sits within Richmond-Oakleigh, a west side Grand Rapids neighborhood known for quiet residential streets and easy access to green space. The six-acre subdivision features an average lot size of about 0.61 acres, and homes here run around $287K. Downtown is just fourteen minutes away by car, which means you can live on a tree-deep street and still grab coffee or dinner in under twenty minutes.
