Foremost Centennial Park spreads across 124 acres in the 36th St To I-96 WB & I-96 Fwy Area, with the kind of convenience that means your morning coffee is steps away—same with dinner, whether you're craving something quick or settling in for a real meal. There are 168 restaurants within a mile, and a grocery store a two-minute walk, so you're not burning gas for basics. The location pins you between Gerald R. Ford airport (11 minutes) and downtown Grand Rapids (16 minutes), which matters if you're commuting either direction. Leslie E. Tassell Park sits about a mile out if you want green space beyond the subdivision itself. Homes here run in the low $400s, and the area falls under West Michigan Aviation Academy's school coverage.
