Ver Lee Plat No 1

The drive times read like a straight shot—downtown Grand Rapids sits seventeen and a half minutes behind you, the airport less than thirty-three ahead—which means Ver Lee Plat No 1 occupies that particular stretch of the area where you're neither quite in the thick of things nor out in the genuine country. You'll want a car for groceries and dining, though Bend Area Open Space is a decent walk if you've got the time, and there are a couple of parks within a mile if you need somewhere closer. It's the kind of place where convenience trades for a bit of distance, and the trade-off is quiet enough that some people prefer it that way.
