Highlands of Oak Ridge
Solid value in a growing area
Median $313K·Walkability 3.9/10·Schools 6.3/10
The roads here are lined with mature trees that actually block the sky—the kind of canopy that makes you forget you're ten minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. It's a three-acre subdivision in the Oakridge Plat Area where lots run around a third of an acre each, which means you get land without the five-acre isolation. Homes here run around $313K. Schools are served by Comstock Park Public Schools. A restaurant is an eight-minute walk, coffee's eleven minutes out, and Lamoreaux Park sits seven minutes on foot—not the "resort living" pitch you hear elsewhere, just reasonable access to actual things. There are 174 restaurants within a mile if you're not in the mood to walk, and a transit stop is twelve minutes away. Gerald R. Ford Airport is 27 minutes if you're traveling; Comstock Riverside Park's boat launch is 2.1 miles if you're not. It's the kind of place where the trees are the main event, and everything else slots in quietly behind them.
