Riverbend Homesites
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $1.4M·Walkability 2.4/10·Schools 8.5/10
The moment you turn onto the drive, the lots open up—half an acre, three-quarters of an acre, the kind of breathing room that makes you forget you're minutes from downtown. Riverbend Homesites sits on 13 acres in the Cascade Rd & Burton St Area. You're close to everything that matters: a dozen restaurants within walking distance, a grocery store just over a mile away, Lions Park seven minutes on foot if the kids need to burn energy. The Forest Hills Public Schools district serves the area, and you're a shade under 19 minutes to downtown Grand Rapids or 17 minutes to Gerald R. Ford airport when you need it. Four parks nestle within a mile, and the Ada boat launch on the Grand River sits less than a mile and a half south if paddling or launching is your thing. It's the kind of subdivision where you can have both land and convenience without apologizing for either.
