Rolling hills and sprawling lots—most running seven-plus acres—define this 39-acre subdivision where homes cluster around winding roads lined with mature trees. Thornapple Shores sits in the Cimarron Meadow No. 2 Area, part of the Forest Hills Public Schools district, about 17 minutes from Gerald R. Ford Airport and roughly 24 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Median home values land around $2.3M, reflecting the scale of the lots themselves. A dozen grocery stores sit within two miles, with restaurants and coffee within a similar radius—close enough that you're not making a production out of errands. Cascade Township Park lies about a 14-minute walk away if you want green space without leaving your driveway. This is rural-edge living with actual land under your feet, not a dense suburban pocket.
