Solid value in a growing area
Median $331K·Walkability 3.6/10·Schools 4.3/10
Gravel crunches under your tires as you turn in—sixty-four acres of modest, right-sized lots that feel neither cramped nor sprawling. Leonard Garden Homesites sits in the Maritime Estates area with homes hovering around $287K, the kind of price point that doesn't require apologies. You're thirteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you can actually get there without thinking about it. A transit stop sits practically at your doorstep, and a dozen restaurants within a mile means dinner doesn't require a production. The Blandford Nature Center is a nine-minute walk away—real woods, real trails—while grocery shopping runs about a mile down the road. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. It's the sort of place where you get actual land to breathe on without the commute turning into resentment, where ordinary life happens at human scale.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
