...so it's a tight 10-acre subdivision with modest lots running roughly a quarter-acre each, homes around $301K, and you're close enough to Lamoreaux Park that a short walk gets you there. Seven parks within a mile means green space isn't hard to find, and there's a grocery within reach on foot—same with restaurants, 18 of them within the neighborhood radius. If you boat, Camp Lake Launch is under three miles out. The Sparta Area Schools serve the area, and downtown Grand Rapids sits about 25 minutes away when you need it. It's a straightforward residential pocket without the acreage of rural West Michigan but with enough breathing room that you're not stacked on top of your neighbors either.
