Consider Greenville, A Small-Town Community with an Easy Commute to the Big City!

Hidden to the north of Grand Rapids, Greenville is truly one of the gems of the West Michigan area. Located outside of Kent County in Montcalm County, Greenville offers small-town community, rural living and plenty of big city amenities, as well as a reasonable commute to the city of Grand Rapids itself. The quaint, walkable downtown area is known as Lafayette Street, and boasts many locally-owned stores. Greenville is also home to one of the last operational Girl Scout camps in the state, Camp Anna Behrens, which is situated on one of the many lovely lakes dotting the Greenville landscape and the Flat River.

From the sweeping waterfront views of many houses available on lakes or the nearby river to the sprawling forests that ring the town, Greenville is truly a breath of fresh air for those wishing to escape the intensity of big city living. There is certainly plenty to keep people busy in Greenville, including the local Danish festival. There are many parks, some of which are connected by the Fred Meijer Flat River Trail that runs all the way to Alma. In the winter, ice fishing is very popular with local residents, though there is also a ski and sled park for those who prefer snow to ice. Greenville is someplace you'll be ready to make your forever home!
