Rivertown Valley V

You'll move through this seven-acre subdivision with the ease of someone who knows the trade-offs—close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (18.7 minutes) that you're not spending your life in the car, but far enough out that the lots breathe a little. The nearest coffee shop is three minutes on foot, and there's a restaurant within a nine-minute walk if you want dinner without the drive, though twelve more sit within a mile if you're the type to have options. A grocery run takes about a mile and a half, and Kent Trails park is 1.8 miles away for when the subdivision itself gets too small. Homes here run around $350K to $400K, which is the kind of number that lets you stop thinking about the mortgage and start thinking about the porch—and they're all served by Grandville Public Schools, sitting in the Koster South Area where the script flips from exurban sprawl to the actual edges of something that works.
