The hills roll gently through Highland Hills Add., and in autumn the canopy turns so completely that you forget you're inside a city. This 22-acre platted subdivision sits within Shawmut Hills, where winding streets and mature trees define the landscape, and homes run around $400K across a range of ages and sizes. You're nine and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, close enough that the expressway matters but far enough that you won't feel it—the real draw is what's at your doorstep: a transit stop steps away, a dozen restaurants within a short walk, and Brian Dyk Nature Preserve reachable in two minutes on foot. The grocery runs to less than a mile, and six parks cluster within your neighborhood's radius. Kent ISD serves the schools. This is the kind of place where you can move here for the rooted feel and realize you've also landed near everything that actually works.
