Alger Park

Alger Park sits within Garfield Park, where Division Avenue's restaurants and markets — taquerias, Latin American grocers, Mexican bakeries — run thick enough that you can walk to dinner in three minutes or grab groceries in four. The subdivision itself spreads across 32 acres of the larger neighborhood's mix of Queen Anne Victorians and brick Foursquares, with a transit stop practically at the curb and downtown Grand Rapids about ten minutes away by car. Homes here run around $270K, and with thirteen parks within a mile—including Plaster Creek just a short walk—you're in the thick of what makes the area move: art fairs in September, the Garfield Lodge serving as neighborhood anchor, and enough walkable commerce that you don't need much of an excuse to step outside. Schools fall under Grand Rapids Public Schools.
