Oakfield Township

This charming rural township offers the perfect blend of country living and suburban convenience, situated just 20 miles northeast of Grand Rapids in Kent County. With its rolling farmland, wooded areas, and proximity to Wabasis Lake, the community maintains a distinctly agricultural character while providing easy access to urban amenities. The township's 36.4 square miles encompass working farms, established residential neighborhoods, and plenty of open space that attracts those seeking a quieter pace of life without sacrificing modern conveniences.

The area serves as an ideal home base for commuters who work in Grand Rapids but prefer rural living, as well as families drawn to the spacious properties and outdoor recreation opportunities. Wabasis Lake provides excellent fishing, boating, and swimming, while the surrounding countryside offers numerous trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Students attend Greenville Public Schools, and the township's location provides easy access to both the recreational opportunities of northern Michigan and the employment centers of the greater Grand Rapids metropolitan area.

The community particularly appeals to hobby farmers, families with children who enjoy outdoor activities, and professionals seeking larger lots and a more relaxed lifestyle. With its mix of newer subdivisions and established farmsteads, the township offers diverse housing options while maintaining the rural character that draws residents away from more densely populated areas.
