Highlands Add. No.1
Strong schools draw families here
Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 7.3/10
Driving through Highlands Add. No.1 feels like landing in the right pocket of the Heritage Park of Rockford Area — compact at three acres, but surrounded by everything that makes this stretch of West Michigan work. You're less than a quarter mile from the Rogue River boat launch, and there's an unnamed park practically at your doorstep, a four-minute walk away. Downtown Grand Rapids sits about 21 minutes south if you need the city proper; Gerald R. Ford airport is roughly 35 minutes out. What really strikes you, though, is the density of actual life around here: 48 restaurants and 23 parks within a mile, a coffee shop nine minutes on foot, groceries at 1.2 miles. The homes here run in the $200K–$250K range. Kids attend Rockford Public Schools, and the whole setup feels like a place where you can get out the door without a car and still feel connected to the water and the broader community.
