Wooded lots backing up to streams, mature trees, and cul-de-sac streets define this 98-acre stretch in Grand Rapids charter township, where midcentury homes sit alongside newer custom builds on sprawling private grounds. Remington Park is a four-minute walk away, and there are seven parks within a mile—enough green space that you won't feel hemmed in. Downtown Grand Rapids is under nine minutes by car; the airport about eighteen. A grocery store and coffee shop are each under ten minutes on foot, and over 200 restaurants sit within a mile, so you're not isolated despite the wooded setting. East Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and Reeds Lake lies just under a mile away. Transit access is immediate—a stop sits steps from the neighborhood—but the character here is decidedly suburban and car-friendly, with room to breathe that you won't find closer to the city center.
