Ellsworth's Addition
Walkable near top schools
Walkability 7.2/10·Schools 4.0/10
Walking through this two-acre pocket of Oldtown-Heartside, you're steps from Division Avenue's galleries and studios, with Heartside Park just a two-minute stroll away. Transit access is immediate—a bus stop sits right at your doorstep—and downtown Grand Rapids is barely two minutes by car. Coffee shops and restaurants are a three-minute walk, and you've got 372 dining spots within a mile, from breweries to the Downtown Market. The walkability here leans heavily toward dining and transit, which makes sense in an arts district where the real action happens on foot and by public transit.
