Village of South Ada
Strong schools draw families here
Median $470K·Walkability 5.1/10·Schools 8.4/10
A short drive from downtown Grand Rapids—just 17.5 minutes—Village of South Ada sits on 21 acres where the everyday rhythm includes quick walks to Leonard Field for a run or a coffee stop that's genuinely nearby, not a car commitment. The subdivision itself is small and deliberate, with homes priced around $470K and access to seven parks within a mile, plus 18 restaurants and half a dozen grocers scattered across the immediate area. What sets the daily routine apart is proximity: three minutes to eat, five minutes to groceries, and water access at the Ada-Grand River Launch a half mile away for anyone who keeps a boat or paddles. Schools fall under Forest Hills Public Schools, and the location pulls double duty—you're close enough to downtown for work or culture, yet far enough out to feel spacious on your own land. It's the kind of West Michigan spot where you can be in the stream of things without living in the current.
