Kinney

You turn onto the avenue and immediately notice the breathing room—houses sit back from the road on parcels that actually give you space, some sprawling across two or three acres with room for a pole barn or garden. The mix runs from solid mid-century ranches to older properties with character details like fireplaces and basements, most recently refreshed with new roofs, windows, and decks. This is Walker living with a Grand Rapids postal stamp, where getting anywhere means a car ride but the tradeoff is land and quiet.
