Lined with mature trees and set on just over seven acres, Van Elst Plat has the feel of a quiet residential pocket that's genuinely close to things—downtown is about 13 minutes away, and you're roughly the same distance from Gerald R. Ford airport. The neighborhood sits within Forest Hills Public Schools, and there's a café within a short walk plus a dozen restaurants within a mile if you don't feel like cooking. Reeds Lake is just over a mile south, Calvin University's Ecosystem Preserve is an easy walk away, and a couple of parks are scattered nearby. Homes here run in the $300K range, and the subdivision's small footprint means you get the suburban breathing room without feeling isolated from the city's pulse.
