Van Ess Plat sits on ten acres with lots averaging just over a third of an acre each—small enough to feel connected, large enough that you're not counting your neighbor's fence posts. This subdivision in Shawmut Hills holds homes that typically sell around $394K, mostly Ranch and Cape Cod styles built in the 1950s and 1960s, their roots deep enough that mature trees now tower over the winding streets. Downtown Grand Rapids is less than twelve minutes away, which means you get the suburb without actually leaving the city limits.
