Harper-Newhof Add sits in the Sparta area as a 19-acre subdivision with lots averaging just under half an acre—small enough to keep things compact, big enough that you're not living in someone's pocket. Homes here run around $242K, and you're connected to Sparta Area Schools. There's a restaurant within a five-minute walk and eighteen more scattered around the mile radius, which beats a lot of smaller Michigan towns. Rogers Park is a four-minute walk away, and if you're counting, there are ten parks within a mile, so you've got green space without having to plan around it. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 24 minutes north, which means you get the rural feel without being stranded—and the boat launch at Camp Lake is just a couple miles down the road if that's your thing.
