Homes for Sale in Grand Rapids, MI under $500,000

Grand Rapids spreads across West Michigan with genuine walkability—you're never far from one of its 80-plus breweries, 200-plus restaurants, or the galleries and public art that define downtown life, especially around the Frederik Meijer Gardens and the annual ArtPrize spectacle. Homes in this range sit across neighborhoods with real character, from the Victorian architecture of Heritage Hill to tree-lined blocks closer to the Grand River and Reeds Lake, all within 30 miles of Lake Michigan beaches and about 22 minutes from the airport. The city's density means parks, transit stops, and something worth doing are usually just a few minutes away, whether you're drawn to what's walkable or looking for breathing room on a larger lot.
