The one thing that sticks: you're steps from a restaurant, any restaurant, all the time. Ball's Sub. sits in Downtown Grand Rapids, where the dining score tops out and 444 restaurants operate within a mile—breweries, taquerias, sandwich shops, fine dining, breakfast spots that don't close until 2 p.m. on purpose. A coffee shop is three minutes on foot. Transit is literally at your door. The Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area, and Riverwalk Trails Park—one of 29 parks within a mile—is a two-minute walk when you need air.
