The Mayor'S Woods

You've got space here—nearly two acres per lot on eleven acres total—which means your morning doesn't involve parking lot negotiations or listening to neighbors through drywall. The condo model lets you own without the sprawl, and homes run around $909K. You're seventeen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids when you need it, but the real daily difference is the buffer: Cole Park is a seven-minute walk, and there's another park within a mile, so your weekend doesn't require a drive to find trees. The Garfield Street Area location puts you close enough to Grand Haven beach—thirty-two minutes if the lake calls—without actually living in tourist season. Schools here fall under Kenowa Hills Public Schools. A coffee shop lands about eight minutes on foot, which means you can actually walk for your morning routine, not just theoretically. That kind of proximity without density, where you're genuinely fifteen minutes from real downtown amenities but your backyard doesn't feel like it's someone else's backyard, is the thing people claim to want and rarely find.
