The Pines Ramsdell Subdivision
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $325K·Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 9.3/10
What catches people off guard about The Pines Ramsdell Subdivision is how much breathing room you get for the price—38 acres of platted land with quarter-acre lots and homes running around $340K, yet you're only 27 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The subdivision sits in the Cannonsburg Rd & Myers Lake Ave Area, where Bostwick Lake is less than a mile away and Pickerel Lake just over a mile out, making water access genuinely close without feeling overstuffed. Kids attend Rockford Public Schools, and the nearest restaurants and grocers are a short drive—1.9 and 2.2 miles respectively—so you're not stranded. The real draw here isn't a particular landmark; it's the combination: suburban spacing without feeling remote, lake proximity without the lakefront price tag, and a 35-minute shot to the airport when you need it.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
