Elston Second Add. is a compact six-acre subdivision where the average lot runs just under a tenth of an acre—tight enough that you're steps from a transit stop and a restaurant, yet still surrounded by seven parks within a mile. Downtown Grand Rapids is seven minutes away by car, and you can walk to the grocery in eight minutes, which means the car stays parked more often than you'd expect in a place this size. The neighborhood sits within the Seeds of Promise area, where resident-led community work has been reshaping Southeast Grand Rapids for over two decades.
