Van Singel Plat
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $363K·Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 7.8/10
Driving through Van Singel Plat, you move through a five-acre subdivision where half-acre lots sit comfortably without feeling cramped—the kind of place where you're never more than a few blocks from a coffee shop or a restaurant. There are forty-two of them within walking distance, which means dinner is usually a short trip. A grocery store sits about nine minutes on foot, and the nearest park is a fifteen-minute walk if you want open space. Downtown Grand Rapids is nineteen minutes by car, and the airport is just over twenty minutes away, so the everyday friction of distance doesn't weigh much here.
