Woodmere

Woodmere is an 11-acre subdivision where the average lot runs just 0.17 acres—meaning you're living shoulder-to-shoulder with your neighbors in a way that actually makes sense, since you can grab coffee or dinner without leaving the block and catch the transit stop on your walk out the door. Homes here median around $229K, and the location is the real draw: you're in Creston, which means seven and a half minutes to downtown Grand Rapids and surrounded by 108 restaurants within a mile, plus four parks close enough that one is technically a 14-minute walk. The dining and fitness scores hit 8/10, which tracks—Plainfield Avenue's business corridor runs right through this part of town, and there's enough density that amenities actually cluster instead of scatter. It's tight, it's connected, and it knows exactly what it is.
