Thornapple Valley Plat No. 1 spreads across 21 acres of West Michigan acreage where lots run just over an acre apiece—the kind of space that lets you breathe without feeling isolated. You're positioned at the edge of the 48th St & M-6 Fwy Area, which means Gerald R. Ford Airport sits just 9 minutes south and downtown Grand Rapids about 21 minutes west. The nearest restaurant lands under 2 miles away, though groceries require a 3.3-mile drive; if water matters to you, Campau Lake Launch is 2.8 miles out. Kids feed into Caledonia Community Schools, and Ruehs Park sits 1.7 miles down the road for weekend trips. What sticks about Thornapple Valley is the lot size itself—you get genuine acreage without being buried in rural obscurity.

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