Ken-O-Sha Industrial Plat
Easy outdoor access
Walkability 4.7/10·Schools 2.9/10
You'll expect industrial sprawl, but Ken-O-Sha Industrial Plat surprises with 37 acres of platted space that sits at the calm edge of Ken-O-Sha Park, where Plaster Creek winds through and the famous wooden Amplifier structure stands ready to catch the creek's murmur on a quiet afternoon—a four-minute walk if you head that direction. The plat itself draws from the area's mid-century bones: ranch and raised ranch homes, many original to the 1960s, running between $250K and $375K. You're minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and just under 20 minutes to Gerald R. Ford airport, yet the neighborhood reads more local and lived-in than commuter-focused. Thirty restaurants and a dozen grocery stores cluster within a mile, and the nearest transit stop is practically at your doorstep—but what stays with you is the trail access, the park density (six within a mile), and the fact that you can walk to coffee in under ten minutes and still hear the creek.
