Suburban streets and proximity to Grand Rapids
On the outer edges of Grand Rapids, Byron Center Park peacefully sits near the Grand River in the Wyoming area of Michigan. Though mostly residential, its southern boundary consists of 44th Street and a hub of shopping, convenience stores and dining. Grand Rapids is a short northward drive or bus ride away, meaning this neighborhood is able to showcase a suburban atmosphere along its gridded streets. Essentially serving as the heartland of the region, Byron Center Park does serve as the centerpiece of several neighborhoods between Route 6, Interstate 196 and Highway 131.
Byron Center Park is a short drive away from downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Ranch homes on quiet streets
Classic, traditional ranch homes are a hallmark of the Wyoming area, and they comprise a large portion of the Byron Center Park neighborhood. Many are located on cul-de-sacs and side streets removed from the traffic of main thoroughfares, with Craftsmans, split-levels and retro flair of Tudor homes also mixed in among the ranch architecture. Other styles can include Cape Cods, and bungalows, and some apartments can even be found on 44th Street. The price range here typically falls between $100,000 and $350,000. Many of the similarly-designed properties have a driveway with a walkway winding to the front steps of the home, and straight sidewalks run parallel to the roads and intersect with the driveways as they unfold down the street.
Byron Center Park is home to many ranch-style houses.

Parks prioritizing nature and recreation
Lemery Park lies in the southern half of the neighborhood, spanning 87 acres and encompassing courts for basketball and tennis, fields for baseball and softball, a playground and more. Residents can also access the Buck Creek Nature Preserve Trail. “There are so many great parks to visit,” says Sarah Takens, a Realtor with RE/MAX of Grand Rapids. “There’s also the walking path and boardwalk along Buck Creek that’s so beautiful any time of year. My brother’s National Guard unit actually built the boardwalk.” On the northern boundary, a small trail winds its way to Prairie Park, where a playground, skate park and wetland environment await. Kent Trails also runs through Wyoming, a pathway connecting multiple regions in the area.

Interstates, state routes and more thoroughfares
Interstate 196 flashes along the shores of Lake Michigan before curving inland on the western side of the state. Byron Center Park lies near the middle of a triangular area between three major routes, with 196 to the northwest. Route 6 runs far to the south, while Highway 131 is to the east. Via 44th Street or 36th Street, residents have a pair of straight shots right to 131, but the interstate and Route 6 are a bit further away.
