Sitting on 12 acres within Belknap Lookout, this subdivision benefits from the bluff's remarkable topography and downtown proximity—a short 3.9-minute drive puts you in the heart of the city, while transit stops are right at your doorstep. Dining and fitness options cluster nearby with remarkable density, over 500 restaurants within a mile and Grand Rapids Public Schools anchoring the educational landscape. An unnamed park sits a four-minute walk away, with 27 parks total within a mile, and coffee shops and restaurants are essentially steps from your door. Grocery shopping takes about 14 minutes on foot, and if the water draws you, Comstock Riverside Park Launch is two miles out for boat access. Homes here run in the mid-range for the area, fitting naturally into a neighborhood where older brick homes and contemporary spaces coexist on streets that climb and descend with real character.
