Gezon Park offers many conveniences

Named for the 94-acre public green space at its center, Gezon Park is a suburb of Wyoming, Michigan, the second most-populated city in the Grand Rapids metropolitan area. It’s primarily residential and offers highly-rated public schools, expansive recreational spaces, nearby hospitals, and easy access to downtown. “There’s a real sense of community. Everyone seems to know each other well,” says Vito Dolci, a Realtor with Dolci Group at Five Star Real Estate and a lifelong West Michigan resident. "And it's convenient. The highways are right there; the hospital is right there. And I think there's a misconception, looking at the map, that it's far from downtown, but with the highways being so close and with the lack of traffic, you can get there in about 15 minutes."

Gezon Park offers many newly-built homes in tight-knit subdivisions.

Exercise at Gezon Park and along the Kent Trails

For outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby Kent Trails, a 15-mile regional trail system, offers a flat multiuse route built along an abandoned railway. The trail begins in Grand Rapids at the northernmost end of Millennium Park and extends through Grandville, Walker, Wyoming and Byron Township. Gezon Park, for which this community is named, is 94 acres of parklands divided into two sections for distinct use. The park's north end has a community feel and features a playground, basketball court, walking trails and a picnic shelter. The south end is an active sports park with athletic fields for baseball, softball, and football. The south end also features a splash pad for kids to cool off in the summertime.
