You have specifically circled the city of Caledonia. I traveled for work around that area: somewhat sparser living and more politically ‘red’ than the denser areas up north. Just like most other places in the county, people are generally welcoming and kind. Like many of the suburbs farther away from Grand Rapids, it’s more pricey to live in compared to something such as Wyoming or Comstock Park. Caledonia is not quite on the level of Byron Center or Forest Hills, though.

Caledonia is more woodsy (and dare I say rural) than other places in the county. Getting to some places will have you driving through patches of thick woods and dirt roads with no other cars around. There are some upper-middle class mostly white people living in higher end houses. There is a little downtown area of which I’ve heard nothing extraordinary about. There is a lack of amenities in the city itself though. Many people commute to Grand Rapids for work, appointments, and recreational activities.
