Chas. B. Smith's Add.
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.0/10
Around one acre tucked into Heritage Hill, this amended plat of four lots plus a vacated alley sits steps from restaurants and a transit stop—the kind of compact footprint where downtown Grand Rapids is just 2.3 minutes away. The subdivision's tight integration into the neighborhood means dining options number in the hundreds within a mile, and Foster Park is a two-minute walk if you need green space fast.
