This corner of northeast Grand Rapids has that rare quality where you can walk to everything that matters — literally everything. With grocery stores and coffee shops at your doorstep and 408 restaurants within a mile, you'll find yourself becoming one of those people who genuinely enjoys running errands on foot. The neighborhoods here, from Riverside Gardens to the historic Creston Hills, each have their own personality, but they all share that same walkable, tree-lined sensibility that makes you actually want to know your neighbors.
