Vacated Eugenia Drive runs through the heart of this three-acre plat, where seven lots ranging around three-quarters of an acre each offer room to breathe without straying far from the rhythm of Cameron Plat Area. Homes here sit minutes from over a hundred restaurants and thirty grocers across a two-mile radius—convenience woven into a landscape that still feels grounded. Downtown Grand Rapids is fourteen minutes north; the airport, twenty-three minutes east.
