Venema Plat

This peaceful 2-acre residential area offers a rare combination of spacious lots and small-town tranquility while maintaining excellent transit connectivity. With a median lot size of 0.12 acres, residents enjoy more breathing room than typical urban neighborhoods, and the proximity to Cambridge Park and six other parks within a mile provides abundant green space for outdoor activities. Fisk Lake sits just 1.4 miles away, offering waterfront recreation opportunities.

The area serves families through Grand Rapids Public Schools, with notable variation in school quality that includes some highly-rated options nearby. While daily errands require a short drive—with grocery stores about 1.2 miles away—the strong transit score of 8/10 makes commuting convenient. The 55% owner-occupancy rate reflects a stable residential community. This location works best for families seeking larger lots and outdoor access while staying connected to Grand Rapids, as well as commuters who value transit accessibility over walkable amenities.
