The rumble of traffic on 28th Street announces your arrival before you see it—a boulevard lined with restaurants, car dealerships, and the kind of casual commercial density that defines this part of Kentwood. Van Elst Plat Area sits just south of that corridor, a 321-acre neighborhood where you're never more than a couple minutes' walk from a meal, yet close enough to Calvin University Ecosystem Preserve that you can escape into something quieter in four minutes on foot. Homes here run around $409K, and the area has transit steps away for anyone tired of driving.
