Kooistra & Brace'S Add.

Late afternoon light hits the brick accents and picture windows just right out here—that's when the neighborhood shows its best side, when the cul-de-sacs quiet down and you notice the wood trim and the kept lawns. The homes tend toward three bedrooms with basements ready for finishing, open kitchens with islands, garages that fit what you actually own. A coffee shop is five minutes on foot; grocery within nine. Hillcroft Park sits an easy walk away, and there are five parks scattered within a mile—enough green space that you're not hunting for somewhere the kids can burn energy. The transit stop is practically at your door, which matters when you're nine minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and twenty from Gerald R. Ford Airport. The subdivision sits in Godwin Heights Public Schools territory, on the quieter end of the Homecrest Area, where forty-two restaurants and dozens of grocers are close enough to not feel like a production.
