Spread across 120 acres in the Cimarron Meadow No. 2 Area, Forest Ridge Estates sits far enough out that you get real land and breathing room, yet close enough to downtown Grand Rapids—about 19 minutes—that you're not abandoning convenience. A dozen restaurants cluster within a mile, a grocery store sits right down the road, and Gerald R. Ford airport is 12 minutes away when you need it. Homes here run around $628K. Kids feed into Forest Hills Public Schools. Cascade Township Park is a short walk if you want to stretch your legs. The subdivision reads as the kind of place where you get space without isolation—property that feels rural-adjacent but doesn't require a supply run to feel at home.
