Webster & Brenner'S Homesteads
Solid value in a growing area
Median $279K·Walkability 3.2/10·Schools 4.5/10
Surrounded by the residential stretch of northwest Grand Rapids, this 20-acre subdivision sits within easy reach of downtown—about 13 minutes by car—and a short drive to Gerald R. Ford International Airport. The area is defined by modest ranch homes on quarter-acre lots, many freshly updated with new kitchens, hardwood floors, and finished basements; the listing descriptions read like a catalog of mid-century rehabs, which tells you something about what people are doing out here. Lot sizes and home footprints favor efficiency over sprawl, and that practical sensibility extends to what's nearby: a restaurant is a four-minute walk away, grocery stores and coffee shops cluster within a mile, and transit access begins steps from your front door. Kenowa Hills Public Schools serves the area, and Lincoln Lawns Neighborhood Park is a 15-minute walk if you need green space without leaving the neighborhood.
