Michell Plat

You'd never know from the road that Michell Plat is only about eight and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids—the subdivision has its own steady rhythm, with tree-lined streets and homes that sit comfortably on lots averaging 0.6 acres. It's small enough that you're never far from anything: Lions Park is a three-minute walk away, coffee shops and restaurants are within five to eight minutes on foot, and there are six parks within a mile if you want options. The 10-acre plat sits in the Woodview Plat Area, where schools are served by Godwin Heights Public Schools, and homes run around $313K. What really anchors this place is proximity—60 restaurants and 36 grocers within a mile, a transit stop two minutes away, and the kind of access to both the city and Gerald R. Ford airport (about 20 minutes) that doesn't require any real planning.
