You're about ten minutes from Gerald R. Ford airport, which means you can wake up and be anywhere—that practical convenience sits quietly in the background of daily life here at Maple Creek Plat No. 1. The subdivision spans thirteen acres of modest lots, each running just under a third of an acre, where homes cluster with real neighborliness without feeling cramped; median values hover around $326K, and Kentwood Public Schools serves the area. Walk to Old Farm Shores Dog Park in six minutes, or step out toward sixty restaurants and three-dozen groceries within a mile—the kind of density that means you're never far from coffee or dinner, yet the place maintains its own quiet rhythm. Downtown Grand Rapids sits seventeen minutes south, close enough for culture and work, far enough that you actually live somewhere. Attends to Crosswinds No.2 Area, a subdivision that understands the value of land and proximity without the noise.

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