Quiet lots near top schools
Median $522K·Walkability 2.7/10·Schools 8.0/10
You're looking at a nine-acre subdivision where lots run around one and a half acres each—plenty of breathing room without feeling remote. It's about twenty-five minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means you can hit the city when you want but aren't living in the noise of it. Gerald R. Ford Airport is just under nine minutes away, so if you travel, there's almost no commute friction. The landscape here is open and residential, with eighteen restaurants within a mile and a solid grocery situation nearby; Lepard Preserve is a short walk if you need green space, and Emmons Lake sits about a mile and a third away for weekend exploring.
