Israel Smith'S 2nd Add.

The thing that sticks with you about this subdivision is how much green space surrounds it—Nash Park sits right next door, and you've got nine parks within a mile, which means there's always somewhere to land on a weekend. Homes here run around $235K on lots averaging a third of an acre, and you're close enough to restaurants and shops that a 5-minute walk gets you dinner, with 18 dining spots and a grocery store within a mile. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 26 minutes away if you need it, but the real draw is that you're planted in the Sparta area with Sparta Area Schools handling K–12, and the boat launch at Camp Lake is just under two miles off if you're into water. It's the kind of place where suburban living doesn't feel cramped, and you're not sacrificing access to anything important.
