Early morning here looks best—when the traffic on the main stretch is still light and you can actually hear the sound of the neighborhood waking up. The area sits right along the corridor where shopping and dining cluster tight, with restaurants literally steps away and a grocery store within a seven-minute walk. Grand Rapids Township Park is a ten-minute walk off, and if you've got a dog, the dog park is a reasonable fifteen minutes on foot. The nearest transit stop is just four minutes away, which takes some pressure off the car situation when you need it.
