If someone tells you Riverman St & Highland Dr is "remote," they're not wrong—you're looking at 65 minutes to downtown Grand Rapids, and the nearest restaurant is nearly three miles away, which means cooking at home is less of a lifestyle choice and more of a practical reality. The neighborhood sprawls across more than 23,000 acres in Bridgeton township with average lots running 13-plus acres each, the kind of land where you can actually see your property lines and probably won't hear your neighbor's lawnmower. There's Bridgeton Township Park about two miles out if you need a place to point the family on a weekend. It's the kind of area where "going out" requires actual planning, but if space and separation are what you're after, the math works.
