Lenwood West
Strong schools draw families here
Median $731K·Walkability 2.6/10·Schools 9.0/10
Lenwood West sits right where 3 Mile Road meets the East Beltline, a compact six-acre subdivision of modest lot sizes—just over 0.4 acres each—that trades sprawl for proximity to everything. Eighty-three restaurants cluster within a mile, from casual to upscale, and a grocery is a quick errand away; the nearest coffee shop is roughly the same distance. Downtown Grand Rapids is fourteen minutes north, the airport twenty-two minutes west, so the location doubles as a genuine commute play without pretending to be remote. Homes here run around $731K on average, and the Forest Hills Public Schools district covers the area. When you want to step outside the grid, PROVIN TRAILS PARK sits just over a mile down the road, offering the kind of actual breathing room that makes a subdivision feel less like one.
