Diamond Place Condominium
Walkable near top schools
Walkability 8.6/10·Schools 4.2/10
The moment you walk into Diamond Place, you're standing on Michigan Street NE with a grocery store, a sushi bar, and a Tropical Smoothie Cafe all within arm's reach — that's the whole vibe right there. This is brand new construction planted squarely in Midtown, where downtown Grand Rapids sits just 5.7 minutes away by car, yet you've got restaurants (240 of them within a mile) and coffee shops close enough that you can roll out of your unit and be caffeinated before you've fully woken up. The community spreads across 3 acres with a fitness center, resident lounges on each floor, attached parking, and a courtyard where you can actually spend time outside. Luxury 1- and 2-bedroom apartments come with full-size in-home washers and dryers, stainless steel appliances, and a walkability score that hovers right around 8.6 — high enough that errands and dining are genuinely convenient without feeling cramped.
