Quiet lots near top schools

Early evening is when this spot really shows itself—light softens across the lots, which average about three-quarters of an acre and give the subdivision room to breathe. Shag Bark Plat sits on six acres in the Cascade Rd & Burton St Area, with homes running around $630K, and you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (18 minutes) and Gerald R. Ford airport (14 minutes) without feeling hemmed in by either. A grocery store is a short walk away, and there are 36 restaurants within a mile if you don't feel like cooking—everything from quick stops to sit-down spots. Leslie E. Tassell Park is about a 10-minute walk, and three parks fall within the neighborhood's radius. Kids here feed into Forest Hills Public Schools, and the location keeps you tethered to actual amenities without requiring constant car trips for basics.
