...so much of what draws people here is the sheer room to breathe. Spanning three thousand acres in Solon township, this rural pocket on Kent County's northern edge offers ranch homes sitting comfortably on spacious land, where you can actually see sky between the houses. Downtown Grand Rapids sits about half an hour south via US-131, close enough for work or dinner without feeling like you're still in it. A grocery store is practically at your door, and if you want coffee or a meal out, you're looking at a five- or six-minute walk, which means the everyday stuff doesn't require a drive.
