Ellsworth'S Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $833K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 4.1/10
So you're basically in the thick of downtown's creative pulse—two and a half minutes to the center of Grand Rapids, surrounded by 462 restaurants within a mile, and Heartside Park is just a three-minute walk when you need to step outside. The subdivision itself spans 74 acres with tight lots averaging a quarter-acre, so you're looking at urban density with a historical feel; homes here run around $833K. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. What makes this spot genuinely distinct is the immediate access—transit stops at your doorstep, a coffee shop two minutes away, grocery stores less than a mile off, and you're surrounded by the breweries, galleries, and music venues that define the neighborhood. If you want to launch a boat, Butterworth Park is just under a mile. It's the kind of location where you're living inside the action, not driving toward it.
