Sandy Acres
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $502K·Walkability 0.0/10·Schools 8.0/10
Sandy Acres spreads across eleven acres of modest lots—each one running around one and a half acres—with homes holding a median value near five hundred thousand dollars. The subdivision sits in the Luce Street Area, far enough out that you're living on real land but close enough that downtown Grand Rapids is just under twenty minutes away. Aman Park sits about a mile and a quarter down the road if you want to get outside without leaving the immediate area, though the nearest grocery and coffee shops are a bit of a drive at two and a half to three miles out.
