F.C. Beards Add.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $505K·Walkability 8.0/10·Schools 8.8/10
What catches most people off guard is how dense and walkable it actually is—you're talking about a tight 9-acre grid where the nearest coffee shop and restaurant are basically steps away, and a transit stop is right there too. The subdivision sits within Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, surrounded by 295 restaurants within a mile and 30 grocery stores within two miles, so errand-running barely registers as a trip. Wilcox Park is a four-minute walk if you want green space, and downtown Grand Rapids is just 6.9 minutes by car. Lots here average 0.13 acres—modest by some measures—but homes run around $500K, and you're buying into a place where you can actually walk to almost everything and still be close enough to the airport (19.4 minutes) that leaving town isn't an ordeal. The William C. Abney Academy serves the area.
