Ada Township

 

Ada is located in Ada Township, approximately 6 miles east

of downtown Grand Rapids in central Kent County.  This picturesque

village with its small town charm is located at the mouth of the 

Thornapple River flowing  into the Grand River. It contains a downtown

area and adjacent mall, accented by colonial style building and  small

boutique shops and wonderful restaurants. There is a covered bridge

for foot traffic only over the Thornapple River, near Leonard park and

baseball diamond, a short walk from downtown.

 

Ada is considered to be an ideal commuter suburb to the

Greater Grand Rapids area and it is also located a short distance

from the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.

Today, Ada is a thriving suburban community of the greater

Grand Rapids area.  Its top-ranking school system, Forest Hills Schools,

wooded rolling hills, and small town feel make it a very popular place to live.

If you enjoy  countryside living but want to be close to the

cultural activities of a growing city, Ada is a wonderful place to live.

For current Ada events, Ada Township has a quarterly newsletter,

The Adaview.

The Ada Business Association and the Ada Arts Council are very active

in this community.
