Find my agent →Alto is an unincorporated community in southeast Kent County, mostly in Bowne Township at the Lowell Township line, a couple of miles south of I-96 just off M-50. It began as a railroad town named for its high elevation on the line between Grand Rapids and Detroit, and holds a harvest festival each September. Farms and country homes surround it. A partner agent who works Alto knows how land and outbuildings affect price.
