The subdivision itself is compact, averaging just over a tenth of an acre per lot, surrounded by the historic architectural variety that defines this part of town: American Foursquares, Craftsman homes, and bungalows dating back to the early 1900s. Joe Taylor Park, with its KABOOM! playground and water features, is practically next door at a two-minute walk, and there are fifteen parks within a mile if you're counting. Transit access is immediate—a two-minute walk to the nearest stop—and Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. Homes here run around $184K, with Wealthy Street and its local shops just blocks away.
