You've got Michigan Street practically in your backyard at Carrs Sub.—step outside and you're already in the thick of it, with restaurants, coffee shops, and a transit stop all within arm's reach. The subdivision sits tight in Midtown, where 510 restaurants and 42 grocery stores sprawl across a radius that keeps you from ever having to venture far, and 29 parks within a mile mean there's always somewhere to move around. Dining walkability here sits at 9.6 out of 10, which tracks: you're talking tacos, breweries, and casual spots so close you won't need a car to get dinner. Downtown Grand Rapids is just 3.7 minutes away, and Gerald R. Ford Airport lands at 18.9 minutes if you need it. Homes here range from Victorian-era brick to mid-century Foursquares, many over 150 years old, hitting anywhere from the low $300Ks into the $450Ks depending on what you find. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and you're anchored in one of the city's most walkable cores.
