This 11-acre platted subdivision sits right in the heart of Creston, where you're just six minutes from downtown Grand Rapids but still surrounded by the neighborhood's quieter residential character. Homes here run around $214K, and the lots are modest—about 0.12 acres each—which keeps things intimate. Sweet Street Park is a two-minute walk away, and you've got 72 restaurants within a mile, anchored by the Plainfield Avenue corridor that cuts through the area with everything from taquerias to coffee shops. A grocery store is a six-minute walk, and transit is genuinely accessible (three minutes to the nearest stop). Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area. If you're thinking about water access, Comstock Riverside Park boat launch is less than a mile away. The subdivision's grid location means you're plugged into one of Grand Rapids' biggest neighborhoods without feeling hemmed in—close enough to run downtown errands but far enough that you actually have a yard.
