What surprises people about A. L. Chubbs Add. is how much green space sits tucked into eight acres on the west side of Grand Rapids, within the John Ball Park neighborhood. You're four minutes from downtown, but the subdivision feels removed from the city's pace—ringed by parks, with transit within a two-minute walk and nearly four hundred restaurants within a mile. The nearest coffee shop is six minutes on foot, and a restaurant about seven, so you're not hunting far for what you need.
