Neighborhood

Daily errands, local favorites, and time outdoors are all easy to work into your routine at Breton 44. Horrocks Market is just down Breton Road, offering much more than a typical grocery run with fresh produce, specialty foods, prepared meals, a deli, seasonal beer garden, food trucks, and regular live music. For even more options, Trader Joe’s is about a 4-minute drive and Meijer is approximately 5 minutes away, while additional shopping and services are available throughout the Breton Road and 44th Street area.

When you want to get outside, Stanaback Park brings paved and nature trails, a playground, basketball courts, and picnic space to the surrounding area. Kentwood also offers miles of trails, including the East West Trail, which connects with the Paul Henry Thornapple Trail for longer walks and bike rides beyond the neighborhood.

Whether you are picking up dinner ingredients, meeting friends, or trading screen time for a walk outside, the neighborhood gives you plenty of ways to enjoy each day without having to venture too far from our apartments in Southeast Grand Rapids, MI.
