It is bordered on the north by Grand Rapids, on the south by 60th Street, on the east by Division Ave. and on the west by Grandville. A major feature of this area is the careful blending of urban life with nature, as evidenced by the locations of Palmer Park, the Buck Creek Nature Area and Lamar Park - amid residential neighborhoods. Both are great places to take a walk "in the country" without having to travel to the county. Palmer Park includes 3 hiking trails, a golf course and several picnic areas. Lamar Park includes picnic areas and a pond open for swimming in the summer.
Another feature of this city includes a section of the busy 28ty Street from Division Ave. to Grandville - a shopper's delight, with Roger's Plaza and the Southland Mall. The city offices are conveniently located on the NE corner of 28th Street and Michael/DeHoop Avenues.
