The Knoll - Townhomes of Ada
Strong schools draw families here
Walkability 4.0/10·Schools 8.4/10
Driving through The Knoll feels like stepping into a planned layout where the geometry actually works. The nine-acre townhome community sits in the Ada Dr Area, positioned so that downtown Grand Rapids is about fourteen minutes away and Gerald R. Ford Airport is equally close. What strikes you first is the access: a dozen restaurants are within a mile, a grocery store is a short walk, and Forest Hills Park sits just over a mile out. It's not sprawling—it's compact and calculated, the kind of place where the developer clearly thought about what residents would need nearby without forcing them into a car for coffee or dinner.
