School Sub.
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $385K·Walkability 5.9/10·Schools 7.5/10
A quiet road lined with modest homes opens onto two acres where newer construction sits shoulder to shoulder with older ranch houses, each on its own small lot. There's a coffee shop within steps and a restaurant around the corner—the kind of walkable dining density that means you don't need to plan ahead to eat well. A park is a two-minute walk, and the Rogue River boat launch is close enough that launching a canoe or kayak feels like a casual Saturday errand rather than a destination trip. Downtown Grand Rapids is twenty minutes away, and the airport about thirty.
