Cascade rewards daily life with easygoing suburban comfort and quick access to big-city amenities. Minutes from Grand Rapids and East Grand Rapids in Kent County, it’s known for leafy neighborhoods, the Thornapple River, and a lively Cascade Road and 28th Street corridor of locally owned eateries and shops. Residents tap into a strong civic heartbeat through the Cascade Charter Township calendar, summer concerts, and community events that make meeting neighbors effortless.
Families value the highly regarded Forest Hills Public Schools, with well-supported academics, arts, and athletics. Outdoor time comes naturally at Cascade Township Park, with playgrounds, courts, trails, and wide-open fields, and along the riverfront at Leslie E. Tassell Park, a favorite for picnics and paddling. Travel is a breeze thanks to nearby Gerald R. Ford International Airport, putting weekend getaways and business trips within easy reach. For culture and horticulture, residents frequently head to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, a regional gem with year-round exhibits and concerts.
Whether you’re drawn by quiet cul-de-sacs or active recreation, Cascade offers a polished blend of convenience and breathing room, with employment centers, hospitals, and universities just a short drive away.
