Baxter Brothers Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $176K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 4.0/10
Baxter Brothers Add. is a modest 2-acre subdivision tucked within Garfield Park, where modest doesn't mean isolated—it means land you can actually afford and neighbors within shouting distance. Homes here run around $176K, perched on postage-stamp lots of roughly 0.14 acres, the kind of footprint that makes a short walk to Division Avenue's taquerias and Latin grocers feel essential rather than optional. Downtown Grand Rapids is just 6 minutes away, yet you're surrounded by forty-two restaurants within a mile and a transit stop steps from your door. If you need green space, Plaster Creek Family Park is a ten-minute walk, or one of six parks scattered nearby. The Gerald R. Ford Airport sits about twenty minutes out for those keeping score. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools. This is the kind of place where car convenience and walkable amenities blur together—not perfectly balanced, but genuinely woven into daily life.
