Median $233K·Walkability 7.6/10·Schools 4.2/10
So you've got this tight 2-acre plat right in the heart of John Ball Park, and it's basically a walking neighborhood — grocery in 2 minutes, coffee in 5, and you're surrounded by 372 restaurants within a mile, so dining is genuinely at your doorstep. Homes run around $233K, which gets you into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the walkability here is solid across the board, especially for errands and getting to restaurants. Transit is right there — stops within steps — and downtown is only 4.4 minutes away if you need it. There are 23 parks within a mile, Douglas Park is a 3-minute walk, and if you've got a dog, the dog park is 6 minutes on foot. The whole neighborhood has this vibe of accessibility without feeling cramped; you're in the city but the lot sizes are reasonable, and you've got real green space all around. It's the kind of spot where you can walk to what you need and still feel grounded.
