Doran'S Assessor'S Plat No.14
Walkable with great nature access
Median $231K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.1/10
Walking through Doran's Assessor's Plat No. 14 feels intimate—just one acre of platted lots tucked into Baxter, where historic brick homes from the 1900s and 1930s sit a few blocks from the riverfront action of downtown Grand Rapids, barely six minutes away by car. The neighborhood hums with immediate access: Joe Taylor Park's playground is a four-minute walk, a coffee shop about the same distance, and a grocery store just seven minutes on foot, with over 200 restaurants within the mile and transit stops practically at your doorstep. Homes here run around $231K, reflecting the walkability and density that come with being this close to the urban core—you're looking at lot sizes around a tenth of an acre, so the feel is tight-knit in the best sense, where you're steps from Wealthy Street's local businesses and the Wealthy Theatre without sacrificing the residential character of the blocks. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and if water's your thing, Butterworth Park's boat launch is two and a half miles out.
