Churchill Downs No.1

When you turn onto Churchill Downs No.1, the first thing you notice is the canopy—mature trees shade the winding streets, and the lots sit close enough together that you feel the neighborhood's presence without it ever feeling cramped. Nineteen acres platted into roughly seventy homes, each on a quarter-acre or so, creates that sweet spot where you've got actual yard and breathing room, but you're not isolated. Homes here run around $356K, and they're the kind of mid-century stock you'd expect in this part of Grand Rapids—Cape Cod, ranch, colonial—built solid and lived in long enough to have real character.
