Doran'S Assessor'S Plat No.38
Walkable and connected
Median $265K·Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 4.0/10
You're about eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids in this compact four-acre subdivision where lots average a tight 0.13 acres—the kind of place where your neighbors aren't far away, and neither is much else. A restaurant is a five-minute walk, though the nearest grocery takes thirteen, and coffee runs closer to twelve, so you're making deliberate trips rather than casual strolls. The walkability score sits at 5.4, which is honest about what this feels like: a car-oriented residential pocket with real dining density (48 restaurants within a mile) and transit access literally steps from your door. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. Garfield Park is six minutes away on foot, and you've got ten parks within a mile if you're looking for greenspace. It's a working neighborhood in Southeast Grand Rapids with the texture of real density—short blocks, tight spacing, quick access to the city center.
