Butterworth Ave. Add.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $225K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.2/10
You're basically living in the John Ball Park backyard here—four acres of modest homes where you can walk to coffee in about six minutes and hit a restaurant in seven, which matters when downtown is just under five minutes away by car anyway. The neighborhood sits on top of serious walkability for dining (the whole west side hums with that), though you'll want a car for most errands; the nearest grocery is less than a mile out. Transit is literally steps away, and if you're into the water, Butterworth Park boat launch is a quick walk. Homes run around $166K and feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, which keeps things grounded. The real draw is the location—you're nested within John Ball Park, where the zoo and green space define the whole area, and seventeen parks sit within walking distance.
