The Grand River is basically your backyard—Comstock Riverside Park Launch sits just a tenth of a mile away, which means you're living steps from the water. This 3-acre subdivision in Creston puts you minutes from downtown Grand Rapids (about 7 minutes by car) while keeping you anchored in a residential corner with actual breathing room. There are 36 restaurants within a mile, plus a coffee shop about a mile and a half away if you need your fix before work. Briggs Park, the neighborhood's largest green space, is a 9-minute walk, and three more parks land within a mile of home. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. Homes here run around $280K, and you're looking at roughly 25 minutes to Gerald R. Ford Airport when you need it. It's the kind of location where you can grab breakfast at one of dozens of nearby spots or launch a kayak the same morning.
