Albert Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $132K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
Biking or driving through Albert Add. feels like moving through the grain of Garfield Park itself—compact lots, close-set houses, the neighborhood's rhythm at human scale. Seven parks within a mile means green space is everywhere; Plaster Creek Family Park sits just a four-minute walk away, and over two dozen restaurants and grocery stores cluster nearby, most reachable on foot or a short drive. Downtown Grand Rapids lands 7.3 minutes east, close enough that the subdivision feels plugged into the city without being swallowed by it. Homes here run around $132K on average, with lots hovering at a tenth of an acre apiece—tight, manageable, the kind of footprint that lets you know your block. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and a transit stop sits five minutes away for those who skip the car entirely.
