Ellsworth'S Addition To the City of Grand Rapids
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 4.1/10
Ellsworth's Addition sits on just two acres in the heart of Oldtown-Heartside, where your morning coffee is a two-minute walk and dinner is literally steps away—the kind of density that means you're never hunting for a restaurant, with 432 within a mile. Transit stops are close enough that you don't need to think about parking, and downtown is less than two minutes by car if you do. The subdivision feeds into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and Mel Trotter Park is a quick stroll away if you need air and green space. At around $10M, homes here are priced accordingly for the location and the sheer convenience of an urban footprint, where the real amenity isn't what's being marketed—it's that you can live here and actually walk places, eat things, and get somewhere without a ten-minute preamble.
