Gros Ventre Plat
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $429K·Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 8.4/10
Head east on Ada Drive and you'll roll past Gros Ventre Plat, a compact 2-acre subdivision where lots average just over half an acre—enough breathing room without sprawl. Homes run around $429K, and you're drawing from Forest Hills Public Schools. A dozen restaurants sit within a mile, a grocery is about 1.1 miles down the road, and downtown Grand Rapids is a quick 13.7-minute drive. The Carl Creek Wetlands Preserve is 1.2 miles away if you want to stretch your legs, and the Ada boat launch is a 3-mile shot for anyone thinking about water access. It's close-in enough to hit a coffee shop in under 20 minutes but still part of the quieter Ada Dr Area fabric.
