Welcome to Ottawa Hills

A neighborhood of tree lined streets,

 exceptional homes and

nice people.

Ottawa Hills, once rolling farm land, became home

to Highland Golf Club in 1907.  Its membership was described by the Grand Rapids Herald as “an active, energetic, up-and-doing membership of 100, to a man, almost, ardent devotees of

the grand game of the verdant links.”   

Which today means - These folks really liked golf!

The club house stood here in the 1500 block of Pontiac with its wide veranda overlooking the course.  By 1922, however, the demand for building sites within the city limits took precedence over the “verdant links”.   The land was laid out in 10 irregular blocks. Some said they followed the pattern of an English village.  Skeptics pointed out that they seemed to follow the old fairways.  Never the less, the first lots sold within a month and Ottawa Hills was born,  the first Grand Rapids neighborhood made possible by the automobile.  By the late twenties 200 brick homes with an eclectic blend of architectural styles had been built. 

As the residents did some 80 years ago, we think you’ll enjoy living here.
