Bostwick and Company's Addition
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 4.0/10
This little two-acre parcel sits right in the thick of Heartside, where brick warehouses have morphed into breweries, galleries, and music venues, and where Division Avenue practically vibrates with creative energy. You're steps from transit, a couple minutes on foot from coffee and dinner, and surrounded by 414 restaurants within a mile—which means you're never wondering what to eat. The Downtown Market, Van Andel Arena, and Kendall College anchor the neighborhood's identity, while Pekich Park lands just a four-minute walk away if you need grass and sky. Downtown Grand Rapids is essentially your front door at 2.2 minutes, and when you want to venture further, Gerald R. Ford Airport sits about 23 minutes out. What really sticks, though: you're standing in a district that's genuinely urban without the sprawl, where the bones of old industrial buildings now house galleries, live music, and the kind of density that makes walking feel natural.
