This intimate 2-acre community in Kent County offers a peaceful residential setting with notably larger lot sizes than typical Grand Rapids neighborhoods, where the median lot spans 0.17 acres. The area features quiet cul-de-sacs perfect for families seeking space and tranquility, while maintaining convenient access to daily necessities with six restaurants within walking distance and eight grocery stores within a short drive.

With decent transit connectivity and Kentwood Public Schools serving the area, residents enjoy a suburban lifestyle that balances privacy with accessibility. Kellogg Woods Park provides nearby recreational opportunities, and the community's mix of owner-occupied homes creates a stable neighborhood atmosphere. This location works particularly well for families wanting larger lots and quiet streets while staying connected to Grand Rapids' broader amenities and job centers.
