What might surprise you is how much there is within arm's reach—18 restaurants within a mile, a grocery store just over a mile away, coffee shops at 1.1 miles—despite sitting in the middle of what feels like genuine countryside. O. B. Thomas Plat Area is a 1,031-acre neighborhood of mostly ranch homes spread across Caledonia township, that fast-growing rural community southeast of Grand Rapids. The median home price hovers around $539K, and Caledonia Community Schools serves the area. You're only about 25 minutes from downtown if you need the city, though Lepard Preserve sits just under a mile away for something closer to hand. Gerald R. Ford Airport is nine minutes out, which matters if you travel often.
