Arnolds Sub.
Strong schools draw families here
Median $178K·Walkability 3.1/10·Schools 4.9/10
Arnolds Sub. sits on just 3 acres—tight platting that packs homes onto roughly 0.43-acre lots in North Park, where you're 11 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and surrounded by six parks within walking distance. The median home here runs around $178K, and you're close enough to grab coffee or dinner on foot, though the nearest grocery store is a mile and a half away. Grand Rapids Public Schools covers the area, and if you boat, the Comstock Riverside Park launch is about two miles south. This is compact Northeast Grand Rapids living—the kind of subdivision where lot size comes at a trade-off for walkable access to Grotto Park and the neighborhood's restaurants and local spots.
