Smith Farms No.2
Solid value in a growing area
Median $366K·Walkability 4.9/10·Schools 5.1/10
Smith Farms No.2 sits on eight acres of modest lots—each around a third of an acre—where homes hover around $400K and the subdivision feels like it exists in the margins of something bigger. Just a five-minute walk gets you to a restaurant, and a grocery store is twelve minutes on foot; Creekside Park is even closer if you need green space fast. The Kentwood Public Schools district serves the area, while downtown Grand Rapids is roughly seventeen minutes away by car and Gerald R. Ford Airport sits just over thirteen minutes in the other direction. With ninety-six restaurants within a mile and four parks nearby, the location trades elbow room for access—a practical equation for people who don't want to spend their evenings driving.
