This lovely Forest hills neighborhood is an amazing place to raise a family, to work, and to have some peace later on in life. This quiet neighborhood is a short walk to orchard view Elementary school, and close to everything you could need. The East Beltline is minutes away to be your portal to restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. Plainfield is a 5 to 10 minute drive away for even more options.

About this area

When you arrive, you notice the hum of a place that works—transit stops and grocery stores literally steps away, restaurants and coffee on every corner, the kind of ordinary convenience that makes a neighborhood feel like it already knows what you need. This stretch sits squarely in the middle of things, close enough to downtown Grand Rapids for a thirteen-minute drive yet set back enough to breathe, with over 450 acres of residential ground anchored by Forest Hills Public Schools.
