Sitting just south of Wealthy Street in the Baxter neighborhood, Doran's Assessor's Plat No. 11 is a compact 2-acre subdivision where homes cluster on tight lots—averaging 0.14 acres—and downtown Grand Rapids sits a quick 5-minute drive away. The platted area itself is small, but what surrounds it is substantial: 235 restaurants within a mile, a grocery store about a 6-minute walk, and Joe Taylor Park—complete with its splash pad and playground—a short stroll away. Homes here run around $185K, reflecting the walkable character and proximity to Baxter's historic brick roads and arts venues like the Wealthy Theatre. Transit access is strong (a bus stop is 2 minutes on foot), and if you want to get out on the water, Butterworth Park's boat launch is 2.2 miles off. Attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, and you're in a place where the street life and local spots matter more than the square footage of your yard.
