Solid value in a growing area

You'll feel the density here as soon as you turn onto the street—ten acres carved into tight lots where homes sit close enough that you can actually chat with neighbors across the fence, and a grocery or restaurant is just a few minutes' walk away. The neighborhood hums with real foot traffic; transit is right there at a four-minute walk, and downtown is practically next door at under seven minutes by car. Homes here run around $197K, and you're sitting within reach of 48 restaurants and two dozen grocers in a one- to two-mile radius—the kind of setup where you don't need a car for dinner or milk, though one sure helps. Garfield Park is a manageable walk when you want green space, and if you're into the water, Butterworth Park Launch is just over a mile away. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, anchoring the southeast side's ongoing transformation.
