Median $260K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 7.7/10
This 33-acre stretch sits on lots averaging just under half an acre, close enough to downtown that a two-minute walk lands you at a restaurant, yet far enough out to breathe. The neighborhood clusters a dozen dining options within a mile, and Recreation Park is an 11-minute walk away if you need grass and open space. A grocery store runs 2.2 miles down the road, and you're looking at about 26 minutes to Gerald R. Ford airport, or roughly half an hour to downtown Grand Rapids for those who commute. Lowell Area Schools serves the area, and the sales history here tells the story: corner lots along Main Street with river views, oversized parcels tucked on quiet streets, homes with character that buyers mention by their front porches and the simple fact that you can walk to what matters—the river, the shops, the downtown—without feeling tethered to constant motion.
