    " I love the proximity to the best things grand rapids has to offer via a short bike or golf cart ride ! Many green spaces and plenty wildlife ! Such a rare mix to have best of both worlds Never experienced anything like it and lived all over city ; very special area with all the cemeteries and being up hill you get views of downtown skyline !"

    "The little known 7 route going down Leonard can get you to the Leonard Business District or all the way downtown with ease. The 50 route on Lake Michigan Drive is more frequent and heavily used by GVSU students and gets you right downtown as well."
