Sunny Acres Add.

When you turn onto the street, you notice the lots are generous without eating your whole weekend with upkeep—quarter-acre plots that feel lived-in rather than cramped. Sunny Acres sits in the Douglas Add. Area, an 8-acre platted subdivision where homes run around $385K and Grandville Public Schools serves the area. Downtown Grand Rapids is just under 15 minutes away, and there's a transit stop a short walk from most addresses. What makes the neighborhood work is the density of actual stuff nearby: 132 restaurants within a mile, three parks including Wedgwood Park nine minutes on foot, and a grocery store less than a mile out. If you boat, Grandville Launch is just over a mile down the road; if you want coffee before work, there's a shop at 0.8 miles. It's the kind of place where you're close enough to the city to live there without the drive, but far enough out that you've still got real breathing room.
