The first thing you notice about Plainfield Charter Township is how close it feels to everything—15 minutes to downtown Grand Rapids, but far enough north that you've got space, parks on both sides of the township, and the Grand and Rogue Rivers running through for boating and fishing. The LMCU Ballpark, home to the West Michigan Whitecaps, anchors downtown Comstock Park right in the middle of it all. There are 432 restaurants within a mile, breweries scattered throughout, and groceries, coffee shops, and transit stops within steps—the kind of density that doesn't announce itself loudly.
