Room to spread out, great value
Median $415K·Walkability 3.3/10·Schools 4.6/10
You might expect a 34-acre subdivision to blur into a dozen others, but Edna L. Briggs Second Add. sits in North Park, where tree-lined blocks and early 20th-century homes give the place real character. The neighborhood has nearly a dozen restaurants and forty-some grocery stores within a reasonable distance, so you're not roughing it—a coffee shop is about an 11-minute walk, and downtown Grand Rapids is just over a quarter hour away. Homes run around $286K on lots averaging half an acre, which means enough land to breathe without the isolation. Seven parks within a mile, including the 100-acre Riverside Park with its river trails and disc golf course, keep things lively without the constant tourist energy. The real detail: Grotto Park is a 10-minute walk away, and Grand Rapids Public Schools runs the schools. It's the kind of place where you get actual space and actual proximity to the things that matter.
