C.W. Tufts Add.
Strong schools draw families here
Median $324K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 4.0/10
Flatlands spreading east toward the city's edge, with downtown Grand Rapids a quick 5-minute drive west and the airport about 23 minutes further on—this is Southeast Grand Rapids stripped of pretense, where four acres of modest housing sit within arm's reach of 199 restaurants and 20 parks. C.W. Tufts Add. itself is small and tight, averaging just over a tenth of an acre per lot, the kind of close-quarters subdivision where you know your street by heart. Coffee and groceries are a 9- to 13-minute walk depending on which direction you turn, and a transit stop sits practically at your door. Homes run around $324K, placing them in the working range of the Grand Rapids Public Schools zone. Paul I Phillips Recreation Center is two minutes on foot, making it less a destination and more part of your daily orbit.
