Jenison, MI

Jenison is a census-designated place in Ottawa County, within Georgetown Charter Township and just southwest of Grand Rapids. The area was first home to Peoria and Odawa people before later European-American settlement, and today it is mostly a suburban residential community. Jenison's identity is tied to schools, churches, local shopping, and its position between Grand Rapids and the lakeshore communities of western Michigan. It feels like a practical, family-oriented suburb with enough local structure to stand apart from the larger metro.
