Kroodsma & Van Koevering Plat

You're eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you can have coffee in the city and be back home before the day really starts—or skip that commute entirely and grab a cup locally, since a coffee shop sits about 1.7 miles away. The subdivision itself is compact, eight acres of modest lots (averaging just over 5,000 square feet), where homes run around $240K and you're never far from something to do: a restaurant is a four-minute walk, a transit stop the same distance, and seven parks within a mile keep the area from feeling cramped. Godfrey-Lee Public Schools serves the plat. Thirty restaurants and two dozen grocery stores within a reasonable radius mean you're not reinventing your routine to eat or shop. If you've lived in sprawl where errands ate your afternoons, this level of density—where walking matters and a car isn't mandatory for everything—lands differently. The dog park is an eleven-minute walk; Butterworth Park's boat launch runs 1.5 miles. It's the kind of place you choose because you already know what you want.
