The city of Kentwood is a suburb of Grand Rapids, but it is no small overshadowed crown. Kentwood has been big as long as I have called it home and it only continues to grow before our eyes. Home to many shopping centers and local hot spots, there’s always something to do. Not only that, but Kentwood and the surrounding suburbs make up a very diverse area. Home to the number one most diverse district in the state, Kentwood Public Schools, Kentwood is a perfect example of the melting pot that the U.S. is known to be!
I enjoy living in Kentwood because we are not too removed from amenities but are not right in the middle of anything. The neighborhoods, houses, and local people are very nice!
Kentwood is an amazing environment full of amazing people. There are always tons of windows of open opportunity for anyone and everyone. I believe that the Kentwood public school system is one of the best in the state of Michigan as it is home to East Kentwood High School, the second most diverse high school in the COUNTRY! Everyone here seems to get along very well and there is always room for one more.
