Walkable near top schools
Median $204K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.6/10
A. B. Masons Sub. is a compact 2-acre platted subdivision in West Grand where the real surprise is how much density works in your favor—you're steps from a transit stop, a 3-minute walk to restaurants, and roughly 72 dining spots within a mile, yet homes here run around $204K median. The neighborhood's walkability breaks down to errands at 8.8/10 and dining at 8.5/10, which means you're not forcing a car trip for basics. Harrison Park lands an 8-minute walk away, offering 57 acres with baseball, tennis, and swimming; five parks sit within a mile. Downtown Grand Rapids is just 6.8 minutes by car, and the airport runs 23.8 minutes. You're attached to Grand Rapids Public Schools, and a grocery store sits 6 minutes on foot. The subdivision's tight footprint—0.08-acre lots on average—sits in what was built as a working-class neighborhood a century ago, and that bones-level affordability near downtown hasn't changed much.
