28th Street Retail Condominium

Twenty-eight Street Retail Condominium sits on three acres in Ridgemoor Park, where the real trick isn't finding a restaurant—there are 144 of them within a mile, and the nearest one is basically at your front door—but deciding which one to actually go to. A grocery store is an eight-minute walk away, and a transit stop is steps off your property, which means the logistics of daily life here require almost no forethought. The school district is Grand Rapids Public Schools. What makes this place stick, though, is the sheer density of choice compressed into such a small footprint: you're thirteen minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and twelve from Gerald R. Ford Airport, yet surrounded by the kind of retail and dining corridor that makes you wonder why anyone leaves at all. Homes here run in the mid-range for the area, and the walkability score reflects what you'd expect from a retail-anchored community—high marks for restaurants and transit, moderate for errands—meaning this is a place built for people who want proximity to everything without the pretense that you'll actually walk to the hardware store.
