This quiet 2-acre community in Kent County offers a peaceful residential setting with generous lot sizes that provide plenty of space and privacy. While the area maintains a more rural feel, residents enjoy convenient access to essential amenities, with grocery stores and dining options within easy reach.

The location serves families well with excellent schools through Forest Hills Public Schools, averaging 8.6/10 in ratings. Leslie E. Tassell Park and two other parks within a mile provide outdoor recreation opportunities, while Campau Lake offers additional water activities just 5.4 miles away. Though walkability is limited, the trade-off comes in the form of spacious properties and a tranquil atmosphere. This area works best for families seeking room to spread out while maintaining reasonable access to Grand Rapids amenities, and those who prefer a car-dependent lifestyle in exchange for larger lots and peaceful surroundings.
