Spread across 197 acres in the Byron Oaks No. 2 Area, Railside West sits within a 20-minute drive of downtown Grand Rapids, with Gerald R. Ford Airport roughly the same distance away. The subdivision's Craftsman homes—built with stone and rendered in traditional materials—define the streetscape here, and you're looking at a median price around $750K. A grocery store sits less than a mile from most addresses, while restaurants and coffee shops cluster within a short walk, with 48 dining options in the immediate radius. Kent Trails park anchors the outdoor scene just under a mile away, part of a pair of parks nearby that give the area green space without requiring a car. Students attend Byron Center Public Schools, and the whole setup—dense enough for convenience, spread enough for breathing room—works because nothing feels cramped. It's the kind of place where you can actually use what's nearby.
