On the northwest side of Grand Rapids, about three miles from downtown, this is the residential grid that fills in behind the Alpine Avenue shopping corridor. The streets run along Bristol Avenue NW between 3 Mile and 4 Mile Roads, and the footprint straddles a municipal seam — part of it sits in the city of Grand Rapids, part crosses into the city of Walker, with the same corridor and the same schools shared on both sides of the line. "Alpine Center" is really a composite label for that pocket; the names you'll actually hear in listings are Alpine Estates, the Alpine corridor, and the NW side. The Alpine name traces to Alpine Avenue (signed as M-37), the corridor that lends its prefix to the township and the subdivisions around it — the origin of the name itself isn't documented in the record, so that's as far as the history goes.
