Meme'S Plaza Condominium

Picture this: you pull into your driveway after work, and the only sound you hear is wind through the trees on your own acre-plus of land. This corner of Kent County delivers something increasingly rare around Grand Rapids — genuine space to breathe. With median lots stretching across 1.65 acres, you're not just buying a house, you're claiming your own piece of Michigan countryside while staying connected to everything the metro has to offer.

The beauty here lies in what you won't find as much as what you will. There's no bustling coffee shop on the corner (the nearest one is about two miles out), no parade of restaurants within walking distance — just one spot within a mile for nearby dining. But that's exactly the point. You've got five grocery stores within a couple miles for your essentials, and when you want that craft beer or fine dining experience, downtown Grand Rapids is a quick drive away. Meanwhile, Westgate Neighborhood Park gives you green space nearby, and with Mud Lake just over three miles out, weekend fishing trips are totally doable.

Families here send their kids to Kenowa Hills Public Schools, and while you'll definitely need a car for daily life, that's a small price for this much elbow room. The area attracts people who've done their time in cramped subdivisions and dense neighborhoods — folks who want to hear their own thoughts, maybe keep some chickens, or just enjoy a bonfire without worrying about the neighbors. If you're someone who measures wealth in acres rather than amenities, and you still want reasonable access to Grand Rapids' job market and culture, this is your sweet spot.
