This intimate 21-acre community in Kent County offers an exceptional location just steps from downtown Ada's covered bridge, restaurants, and Thornapple River access. Properties here feature generous lot sizes, with some parcels spanning multiple acres, creating a more spacious feel while maintaining easy access to village amenities. Residents enjoy a short walk to local dining and shopping, plus convenient access to Leonard Field and six other parks within a mile.

The area serves families through highly-rated Forest Hills Public Schools, with nearby schools earning impressive ratings. While walkability is limited for daily errands, the proximity to Ada's village center and recreational opportunities along the Thornapple River creates an appealing balance. This location works well for buyers seeking larger lots with small-town convenience, outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate river access and multiple parks, and families prioritizing excellent schools in a quiet setting.
