Rolling Hills Estates No 5

Rolling Hills Estates No 5 reads as car-dependent on paper, but that's what the sprawl around Greater Grand Rapids actually is—most of it. The subdivision sits about twenty minutes from downtown GR and the Medical Mile, with a couple of grocery stores within a two-mile radius if you're willing to drive. There's a coffee shop within a nine-minute walk if you're the type to make that trek, though errands and dining lean heavily on the automobile here. What anchors the place, though, is its location in the Hudsonville school district and the straightforward subdivision character: just homes on their lots, without pretense or marketing copy.
