Forrester Gardens
Solid value in a growing area
Median $383K·Walkability 5.7/10·Schools 2.9/10
Forrester Gardens sits on the southeast side of Grand Rapids, where the city bleeds into Ken-O-Sha Park—a residential pocket anchored by a hundred-acre park and a network of trails that wind through the neighborhood. The six-acre subdivision clusters ranch and raised ranch homes built mainly in the mid-1900s, a short walk from grocery stores and a transit stop. Downtown is about twelve minutes by car; the airport sits fifteen minutes away.
