Scenic Hudsonville has become a popular retreat for those who want all the conveniences of a city without actually living in one.   Located just 20 minutes southwest of Grand Rapids, Hudsonville residents enjoy a small-town atmosphere, knowing that goods and services are just a short drive away.   However, the town is not strictly residential.  A police department, volunteer fire department and exceptionally well stocked library are just some of the public facilities located within Hudsonville.  A mini shopping mall serves residents as well.  Most medical needs are provided by Grand Rapids or Holland.  Children attend the Hudsonville School District, comprised of two high schools, a middle school and six elementary schools.  Situated between Lake Michigan and   Grand   Rapids,   Hudsonville  allows  community    members  to  choose from  an abundance of recreational opportunities in the town's three parks, golf course, and its 73-acre Nature Center.
