Briggs & Antisdels Sub.

What might surprise you about Briggs & Antisdels Sub. is how much density and access it packs into just 2 acres, tucked into the larger Creston neighborhood about 6 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The lots here are small—averaging a tenth of an acre—but what they lack in size, the surrounding blocks make up for: 36 restaurants and 30 grocery stores within a mile, a transit stop a 4-minute walk away, and Briggs Park right there for a quick outing with the kids. Homes run around $307K, and you're close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport (about 25 minutes) that commuting isn't a burden. The real draw is the location. You're in a neighborhood with actual character—Plainfield Avenue's shop-and-restaurant corridor is walkable, large-scale murals dot the area, and Forest Hills Public Schools serve the area. It's the kind of spot where you can grab coffee or dinner on foot, but you'll want a car for errands and getting around the wider neighborhood.
