415 Franklin Condominium

Walking into 415 Franklin, you're stepping into a restored 1892 schoolhouse that spent years empty before becoming something entirely different. The three-story brick building now holds affordable housing units alongside spaces for Madison Square Church's outreach program and a community service center focused on education, counseling, and training for low-income residents. It's a single structure doing triple duty—residential, civic, and spiritual—all under one roof. The location itself helps: you're two acres in southeast Grand Rapids, walking distance to a coffee shop or restaurant, with Paul I Phillips Recreation Center sitting right next door and sixteen parks within a mile. Downtown is less than five minutes away by car, and transit stops are steps from your door.
