De Van Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $443K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.7/10
Streets lined with early-20th-century homes and mature trees define De Van Add., a compact 8-acre subdivision tucked within Creston, where Plainfield Avenue's restaurant and retail corridor runs just nearby. The median home value sits around $443K, and lots average 0.27 acres—tight enough to keep things walkable to a coffee shop or grocery in under 10 minutes, yet with room to breathe. You're downtown Grand Rapids in under 7 minutes by car, and the real draw lands at the end of the block: a transit stop and over 100 restaurants within a mile, plus Sweet Street Park and three other green spaces close by. Attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, and you're living inside one of the city's largest neighborhoods without feeling like you've left anything behind.
