Kinney Plat
Easy outdoor access
Walkability 3.8/10·Schools 4.2/10
What makes Kinney Plat stick with you is the land itself—twelve acres laid out with real breathing room between houses, the kind of space that feels deliberate rather than accidental. You're looking at a platted subdivision where the lots actually give you something to work with, sitting just fifteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and close enough to Gerald R. Ford airport that the drive is under thirty-two minutes when you need it.
