Coltons ("J. B.") Add.

Early evening when the light hits the brick facades along Michigan Street and you realize you're steps from a coffee shop, a restaurant, or a park—sometimes all three at once. Coltons sits in the heart of Midtown, where 7 acres of modest lots (averaging a tenth of an acre) mean you're living close enough to walk to 504 restaurants and storefronts within a mile, yet far enough from the highway clutter that it actually feels like a neighborhood. The Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area, and homes here run around $306K—a mix of century-old Victorians and mid-century squares that have been updated without losing their bones. You're three minutes from downtown, with a transit stop and a grocery at hand, 24 parks nearby, and the kind of density that makes biking and walking the faster route most days. It's the kind of place where "running an errand" and "grabbing dinner" are the same trip.
