Plainwell is just off US131 about 10 minutes north of Kalamazoo (pop 71,000) and 20 minutes south of Grand Rapids. Nice "class B" school with a high percentage going on  More

I've lived here for 15 years and love it. I have raised three children in the schools here and they are among the best in the state. All the schools are blue ribbon  More

I love living in Rockford, it's small, quiet and close to every thing you need (Grand Rapids). I am planning to move to Melbourne, Florida within the next couple months,  More
