What might surprise you about Thornridge Plat is how much green space and breathing room nine acres can actually contain, wrapped up within the city limits of Grand Rapids. The subdivision sits in Shawmut Hills, a pocket of northwest Grand Rapids defined by mature trees, winding streets, and homes built mostly in the nineteen-fifties and sixties—ranch, Cape Cod, and Colonial designs on larger lots than you'd find in most urban neighborhoods. Shawmut Park is a five-minute walk away, and there are five parks within a mile, which means you're never far from something green. Downtown is eight minutes by car, and transit is literally steps away, so the car-optional part isn't theoretical.
