Life here moves at a different pace—you're on 43 acres of established homes where the lots average just over half an acre, enough land to breathe without feeling remote. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area, and the subdivision sits in the Ada Dr Area, about 18 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and Gerald R. Ford airport, so errands don't eat your whole afternoon. Lions Park is a two-minute walk away, and there are six parks within a mile if you're looking for somewhere to spend a Saturday morning. Restaurants cluster nearby—18 within walking distance—and the nearest grocery store is about an 11-minute walk, which means you can actually run out for something without firing up the car every time. Homes here run around $803K, and if water's part of your routine, the Ada–Grand River Launch sits just a mile down the road.
