Living at 171 Monroe puts you right in the thick of it—steps from Rosa Parks Circle, steps from restaurants and coffee shops, steps from transit. You're on Monroe Avenue in a location where the daily errands feel less like errands and more like you're just moving through a neighborhood that's always got something happening. The Louis Campau Promenade sits right there beside you, and with nearly thirty parks within a mile, you've got green space without having to think about it. Dining scores a perfect ten out of ten around here; there are nearly five hundred restaurants within a mile, so whether you're grabbing lunch or heading out for dinner, it's all happening at a human scale—nothing requires a drive. Grand Rapids transit is right at your door, and if you're heading to Gerald R. Ford airport, you're looking at about twenty-one minutes.
