“Outdoor activities and the arts both take a prime place in this outdoor town. Grand Rapids is where artist Nina Akamu made Leonardo da Vinci’s dream come true of creating the largest horse sculpture in the world. For those who want to get outdoors, Grand Rapids offers fishing, boating, sailing, canoeing, rock climbing, and skiing. Residents are only minutes away from the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan.
Host to the Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts each June, Grand Rapids offers many cultural amenities: concerts, museums, opera, symphony, ballet, theater, and restaurants with international cuisine. Excellent educational opportunities abound at the more than a dozen college and universities. Grand Rapids has a low unemployment rate, a growing economy, and a safe atmosphere. Housing is very affordable and numerous medical facilities offer good access to quality health care.”
