Sitting in the Ted Breen Plat Extension Area, Lafayette Acres spreads across 56 acres of subdivision lots averaging 0.40 acres each—modest parcels with modest prices around $278K, the kind of neighborhood where you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (about 15 minutes) and Gerald R. Ford Airport (also about 15 minutes) without feeling hemmed in by either. A grocery store and a few restaurants are roughly a ten-minute walk away, and there's a transit stop within seven minutes on foot if you need it. Creekside County Park sits about a thirteen-minute walk out, with three parks total within a mile. The area feeds into Kentwood Public Schools, and between the immediate walkability to essentials and the proximity to both the metro core and the airport, this is the kind of place where you get practical access without paying for the view.
