What catches people off guard about Southwood is how much ground there is—406 acres of it—and how walkable the immediate surroundings turn out to be, with a coffee shop and restaurant steps away, eighteen more spots to eat within a mile, and thirty grocers spread across two. You're in Wyoming, which means you're attached to the commercial density of the 28th Street corridor without being swallowed by it; drive nineteen minutes and you hit downtown Grand Rapids, or twenty-three to Gerald R. Ford airport. Homes here run around $515K, and they're served by Grandville Public Schools. If you want actual space to breathe, Heritage Park is two miles out. The surprise isn't that Southwood exists—it's that you can be this close to that much commerce and still have room to think.
