La'Bre Village

Golden hour hits La'Bre Village best—when the afternoon light softens on the brick and siding of homes built through the '90s and 2000s, and you can actually see down the tree-lined streets without squinting. Tucked into Shawnee Park, this six-acre subdivision sits on the southeast side of Grand Rapids where winding streets and mature trees create a genuinely removed feel, even though a grocery is a five-minute walk away and over 120 restaurants sit within a mile. The median home here runs around $469K, which lands you in a neighborhood where the nearest coffee shop is nine minutes on foot and Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area—and you're just thirteen minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport when you need to leave town. A transit stop sits steps from the subdivision, and the athletic fields at Ottawa Hills High School are about a mile down the road if you're looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon.
