The sandy dirt roads wind past farmland and wooded lots where people build lives on acreage—twenty or thirty minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, depending on which direction you're heading. The Berlin Raceway has anchored this stretch for over seventy years, and the annual Berlin Fair (running since eighteen fifty-five) still draws crowds each summer. It's rural in the truest sense: active farms, barn conversions, properties where residents carve out small homesteads or disappear into seclusion on wooded land.
