Let Greg Carlson Be Your Guide to Grand Rapids

To experience its small-town atmosphere and family-friendly environment, you’d never guess Grand Rapids is Michigan’s second-largest city. On the other hand, with as much opportunity the city provides for outdoor activity, education and business, to me, it’s a wonder it’s not America’s largest city.


Despite its small-town atmosphere, Grand Rapids has many big city amenities, making for a “best of both worlds” scenario.

A Rare Breed
Grand Rapids is that rare breed of city that has it all, yet retains its close-knit community spirit that dates back to the city’s origins as a haven for furniture manufacturers. If that furniture was anything like the city it spawned, I’d imagine it was the most comfortable furniture ever made. With outstanding community activities, top-ranked schools, and natural beauty to rival any city, Grand Rapids has the ability to captivate those who visit, and embrace those who make it their home.

For the Sports Enthusiast
As a golfer, I take special interest in the fact Grand Rapids boasts of the highest percentage of golfers per capita throughout the country. As a father and husband, it’s also nice to know Grand Rapids was ranked third in fun and recreation by “Places Rated Almanac” for its accessibility to boating, sailing, fishing, camping, snow skiing, and of course, outstanding golf courses.

Business-wise, Inc. magazine ranked Grand Rapids among the nation’s Top 15 “Best Cities to Start and Grow a Company.” It also ranked second in the Midwest in Entrepreneur Magazine and Dun & Bradstreet’s Eighth Annual “Best Cities for Entrepreneurs” survey conducted in 2001.

Family. Business. Community. Activity.
To put it simply, Grand Rapids has it all, and it’s been a perfect fit for my family for more than 20 years. If you’d like more information regarding schools, recreation and housing options, I’d love to send you one of my custom Relocation Kits that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the Grand Rapids area. Give me a call or simply request your copy via email [link to Greg’s email address] today. There is no obligation whatsoever.


Grand Rapids is an incredible place to raise a family. From organized athletics to top schools to a safe community, there’s nowhere I’d rather raise my three sons.
