You don't come to L. W. Edison Plat expecting much—it's forty acres of modest lots in Shawmut Hills, homes that run around $293K, the kind of quiet subdivision that doesn't announce itself. But that's exactly the point. Tree-lined streets, a quarter-acre per lot, and Shawmut Hills Park a two-minute walk away give the place a breathing room you don't often find this close to the city. Downtown Grand Rapids is less than nine minutes' drive.
