The most useful fact about this stretch of northeast Grand Rapids is that it sits steps from Riverside Park, where the Grand River actually runs through—meaning you've got immediate access to trails and water without leaving the neighborhood. Tree-lined streets with bungalows and historic homes anchor the blocks, many recently remodeled with original hardwood and updated kitchens. Corner lots are common, and the whole area has the low-key feel of a residential pocket that happens to be minutes from downtown.
