Michigan Maples

You can walk to dinner from Michigan Maples—there are a dozen restaurants within a mile, and the nearest coffee spot is about the same distance—but what really strikes you about this six-acre subdivision is how it sits right in the middle of Michigan Oaks, a neighborhood where mature trees and quiet streets somehow coexist with being eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The lots average just over a third of an acre, which means houses have real breathing room without eating up the wooded character that defines the area. Mid Lake is less than a mile away, and Remington Park sits at just under a mile too—so there's green space everywhere you look. Homes here run around $447K, with Lighthouse Academy serving the area, and you're close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport that the commute barely registers.
