Ken-O-Sha Park Plat
Solid value in a growing area
Median $300K·Walkability 4.0/10·Schools 2.9/10
Ken-O-Sha Park Plat sits on the southeast edge of Grand Rapids, where the city bleeds into Kentwood and industrial warehouses give way to tree-lined streets. You're looking at seven acres of mid-century ranch and raised ranch homes—the kind with solid bones and reasonable footprints—priced around three hundred thirty thousand dollars. The subdivision borders Ken-O-Sha Park itself, a hundred-acre green space anchored by Plaster Creek, complete with that wooden megaphone structure that actually works if you climb into it and listen to the water. Downtown is a twelve-minute drive; the airport, seventeen.
