Kooistra & Salm Add.

So you've got Kooistra & Salm Add., a 5-acre subdivision sitting right in Eastern-Burton, and it's honestly a straightforward place—homes run around $178K, lot sizes hover near a tenth of an acre, which means you're not sprawling but you're also not hemmed in. The location is pure efficiency: downtown Grand Rapids is a quick 9-minute drive, and you're about 19 minutes from Gerald R. Ford if you're flying out regularly. Transit access is basically at your doorstep, which matters more than people think in a place this compact. Dining is genuinely accessible—36 restaurants within a mile, including Burton Village BBQ Company just down the way, and a coffee shop or grocery run is roughly a 13-minute walk if you're in the mood for it. Cheseboro Park is a 6-minute walk for when you want some green space, and there are actually 11 parks within a mile radius, so the immediate area isn't short on outdoor spots. You're in River City Scholars Charter Academy's territory, and the whole setup gives you that dense-neighborhood feel without feeling cramped.
