    Centered around the Creston and Cheshire Village areas on Grand Rapids’ northeast side, 49505 blends tree-lined streets, early-20th-century bungalows, and mid-century homes with an easy, neighborly pace. You’ll find everyday conveniences along Plainfield and Leonard (local favorite Kingma’s Market, casual burger spots, brewpubs, and cozy coffee shops), plus fitness studios and a Family Fare for groceries. Outdoor time is big here: Riverside Park’s riverfront paths, disc golf, and connection to the White Pine biking trail, along with Huff Park’s boardwalk and Ball-Perkins and Aberdeen parks, make it popular with joggers, cyclists, and dog-walkers. Winters bring classic West Michigan snow and crisp air; summers are warm and green with frequent community events just minutes away downtown. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $1,350, with most listings over the past few months ranging roughly $1,050–$1,900 per month, depending on size and updates. Overall, it’s a friendly, laid-back pocket that’s both pet-friendly and commuter-convenient to US-131 and I-196.
