Loralee Plat
Walkable and connected
Median $319K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 3.3/10
The minute you turn onto Loralee's tree-lined streets, you notice the quiet—no through traffic, just the hum of a neighborhood that knows itself. This 8-acre subdivision sits within Millbrook Community Bridgeworks, a residential pocket on Grand Rapids' southeast side where mid-century homes cluster on modest lots (averaging 0.27 acres) and mature trees create a canopy overhead. Homes here run around $319K, and they move fast. You're about 14 minutes from Gerald R. Ford International Airport and downtown Grand Rapids, which matters if you fly or work in the city. The real convenience lives closer: restaurants within a short walk, 84 of them within a mile, plus a transit stop practically at your curb—that 10/10 transit score means you're never far from a bus. Oxford Park is a 9-minute walk if you need green space. Schools fall under Grand Rapids Public Schools. It's small, established, and deliberately unpretentious—which is exactly the point.
