A. Jones Sub.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $247K·Walkability 5.3/10·Schools 4.8/10
Late afternoon light hits A. Jones Sub. best, when the grid of modest lots settles into shade and the whole 17-acre patch feels proportional rather than cramped. It's a tight subdivision where the average lot runs just 0.20 acres—close quarters, but you're surrounded by 96 restaurants and a grocery within a four-minute walk, so the trade-off reads less like compromise and more like deliberate adjacency. Downtown Grand Rapids sits 8.7 minutes away, and a transit stop is two minutes on foot, which means the car stays parked more than you'd expect from a Michigan neighborhood. Richmond Park lands a 13-minute walk out, dog park another minute beyond that, and if you boat, Comstock Riverside Launch is just over a mile down the road. Homes here run around $240K, anchoring the subdivision within Grand Rapids Public Schools and the broader Harding Estates Area, where density and walkable access create a different kind of Midwest living than the tree-lined streets a few blocks over.
