Alfour Commerical Plat
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 4.5/10
You're basically working from home or heading downtown in under ten minutes, which means you skip the commute grind entirely—downtown Grand Rapids is right there if you need it. Alfour Commercial Plat sits on ten acres in the 7 Mile Rd Area, where errands are straightforward and you've got 168 restaurants within a mile, so there's no shortage of lunch spots or places to grab dinner without leaving the neighborhood. A grocery store is about a nine-minute walk, and if you want coffee, you're looking at roughly a mile and a quarter down the road. Transit access is literally steps away, which doesn't hurt when you need alternatives to driving. The nearest park is a five-minute walk, and Comstock Riverside Park Launch—perfect if you're into the water—sits just over two miles out. Comstock Park Public Schools serves the area, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is about 25 minutes away when you've got a flight to catch.
