Darby Sharpsteen Plat No. 1
Solid value in a growing area
Median $242K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 3.3/10
You'll notice right away that Darby Sharpsteen Plat No. 1 doesn't announce itself—it's a modest 7-acre subdivision where the homes are straightforward and modest too, with lots averaging just under a quarter acre. But the location is what catches people off guard: you're minutes from a grocery and a restaurant, with a transit stop practically at your door, and downtown Grand Rapids is just 12 minutes away by car. Kelloggsville Park sits about a 9-minute walk off, and there are four parks within a mile if you want more green space to explore. The median home value hovers around $222K, making it one of those places where you're not paying for a name or a story—you're paying for access. Homes here feed into Kelloggsville Public Schools, and the whole plat sits within the larger J.D. Pickett's Plat Area, a neighborhood that's learned to thrive by being genuinely useful rather than trying too hard.
