Highlands Add. sits in the heart of Heritage Park of Rockford Area, where you're surrounded by genuine outdoor access—Glen Park is just a two-minute walk, and there are 23 parks within a mile if you want options. The subdivision itself is modest in scale (just a single acre of platted lots averaging 0.20 acres), which means homes here run around $298K and sit close enough to neighbors that you're not on sprawling acreage. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 21 minutes away, so you're close to the city without being in it. Restaurants cluster nearby—48 within a mile—and the Rockford-Rogue River boat launch is half a mile out if paddling or launching is your thing. Schools fall under Rockford Public Schools. This is the kind of place where you get suburban convenience and walkable neighborhood feel without pretense.
