🏙️9 mito Downtown GR(~18 min drive)
🏞️38 mito Lake Michigan(~1h 17m drive)

So you've got this sprawling condo community spread across 15 acres where each lot runs about 1.87 acres—basically you're getting genuine breathing room without the headaches of maintaining a massive single-family property. The location puts you roughly 18.7 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids or 16 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport, which means you're close enough to the action but far enough removed that you can actually relax. An unnamed park sits just six minutes on foot, and with two parks within a mile plus 18 restaurants under a mile away—including a grocery at 0.8 miles and a coffee shop you can reach in 15 minutes—the conveniences don't require a production. Thirty grocery stores within two miles give you options without feeling like you're drowning in commercial sprawl, and if you're into boating, Ada's Grand River Launch is only 2.2 miles down the road. The whole setup sits within the Forest Hills Public Schools district and anchors you right in the Cascade Rd & Burton St Area, which means you're tapped into established infrastructure without being crammed into anything tight.
