Fairlawns Plat
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $487K·Walkability 4.6/10·Schools 8.5/10
Fairlawns Plat sits on 10 acres in the Forest Meadows Area, where you're within a 14-minute drive of downtown Grand Rapids and just 11 minutes from the airport—close enough to feel connected, far enough to breathe. Homes on the roughly 1-acre lots run around $487K, and the subdivision feeds into Ridge Park Charter Academy. The real story here is access without crowding: a grocery store and coffee shop each about a mile away, and a remarkable 144 restaurants within that same radius, ranging from casual neighborhood spots to places worth the short drive. There's a park a 7-minute walk away, with three more within the mile, and a transit stop right at the edge of the property—the kind of detail that makes daily life simpler without you necessarily thinking about it.
