This quiet residential area sits on 22 acres in Kent County, where homeowners enjoy generous lot sizes averaging about a quarter-acre each. The community features mid-century ranch homes and tri-level properties, many with multiple fireplaces and finished lower levels that offer flexibility for families. Beautiful landscaping and mature perennials create an established neighborhood feel.

While the area prioritizes peaceful residential living over walkability, residents have access to five grocery stores within two miles and the scenic Veterans Nature Trail nearby. Soft Water Lake sits just a mile away, and three boat launches within five miles appeal to water enthusiasts. Students attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, with some excellent nearby options. This established neighborhood works well for families seeking spacious properties, outdoor recreation access, and a quiet suburban lifestyle with room to spread out.
