Thornapple Homesites

You'll notice the green space right away—Leslie E. Tassell Park sits right next door, and there are a couple more parks within a short walk if you've got kids or a dog. The subdivision itself is small, just four acres tucked into the Cimarron Meadow No. 2 Area, but the location does the heavy lifting: a grocery store is about a four-minute walk, restaurants are basically at your doorstep, and coffee shops run about seven minutes on foot. There are nearly 50 restaurants within a mile, so you won't run out of options. Schools feed into Forest Hills Public Schools, and if you need to head out—say, to Gerald R. Ford Airport or downtown Grand Rapids—you're looking at roughly 13 and 18 minutes respectively. Homes here run in the mid-$300Ks, and you get the feel of a small residential pocket with real walkability to everyday errands and dining without feeling isolated from the rest of the area.
