Kentwood is one of West Michigan’s most connected communities, a place where neighborhoods are welcoming, parks are plentiful, and you’re only minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Buffum Homes builds custom homes here designed for comfort, style, and the way real people live.
Kentwood offers the best of both worlds: big-city access with a hometown feel. It’s diverse, lively, and full of places to enjoy everyday life. Whether you’re just starting out, growing your family, or looking to settle somewhere that feels easy to call home, Kentwood welcomes you in.
Here’s what makes Kentwood shine:
Plenty of parks and green spaces: From Pinewood Park to the Kent Trails system, there’s no shortage of spots for walking, biking, or family picnics.
A true community vibe: Kentwood celebrates everything from summer concerts to multicultural festivals, giving it a friendly, connected feel.
Great location: Just minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, Gerald R. Ford International Airport, and major highways. Convenience at its best.
Strong schools and local pride: Kentwood Public Schools are known for their diversity, opportunity, and supportive programs.
Shopping, dining, and entertainment: Woodland Mall, local restaurants, and community events make it easy to find something fun nearby.
Life in Kentwood is full of energy, opportunity, and warmth, the kind of place where it’s easy to feel at home from day one.
