You can move through Poplar Howe in a few minutes—it's a tight 5-acre grid where the average lot runs just under a quarter-acre, the kind of place where neighbors' front yards connect more than they separate. Homes here average around $285K, and you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (about 16 minutes) and Gerald R. Ford airport that neither feels far, though Creekside County Park sits just under a mile away if you want green space without the drive. The grocery store is a straight shot, a mile down the road, and there's coffee and a meal waiting within a couple of blocks. Kentwood Public Schools serves the area, and the whole subdivision sits within the broader Sandlewood Estates No. 2 Area—a residential pocket that's made its mark by staying compact and purposeful rather than sprawling.
