Barths Add.

The real anchor here is Joe Taylor Park just a three-minute walk away—that KABOOM! playground and water feature draw people out of their homes on warm days in a way that reshapes the whole character of living this close in. Barths Add. sits on 20 acres of modest lots (averaging a tenth of an acre each) within Baxter, where homes run around $196K and downtown Grand Rapids is barely five minutes off. The walkability reads high on paper—8.6/10 for errands, perfect 10s for dining and transit—and the numbers back it up: 241 restaurants within a mile, a grocery store steps away, coffee shops on every block. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools. What actually sticks is the density of small, attainable homes packed tight enough that sidewalks matter, parks matter, and the walk to Wealthy Street's local bistros and soul food spots feels natural rather than deliberate.
