Longmeadow Plat
Convenient location
Walkability 4.7/10·Schools 3.3/10
On the way to Longmeadow Plat, you'll notice the trees start getting serious—towering canopy over mid-century colonial and ranch homes that mostly top three thousand square feet, their yards the kind of deep-lot affairs where space isn't theoretical. It's a twenty-nine-acre subdivision that sits inside Ridgemoor Park, the kind of quietly established residential pocket where the streets feel deliberate and the homes look like people actually maintain them. Gerald R. Ford Airport is about twelve and a half minutes out, downtown Grand Rapids a little over fourteen—close enough to matter, far enough away that you're not hearing much.
