Factory Yards Condominium
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 3.9/10
You're just off the riverfront here in Black Hills, where Factory Yards Condominium sits on 11 acres that actually feel like real space—not some squeezed-in development. The bones of the place are industrial-era, which means brick, old timber, and the kind of bones that age well. You're also about 4.7 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which matters when you want to be close without being on top of everything. There's a transit stop steps away if you need it, but honestly most days you'll drive—the airport's 24 minutes out, and everything else is close enough that running errands doesn't eat your whole morning. Clemente Park is basically your front yard (2 minutes on foot), and there are 14 parks within a mile, so if you're the type to actually use them, you're golden. The restaurant count around here is ridiculous—138 within a mile—and you can walk to coffee in about 6 minutes, which is the kind of detail that makes weekday mornings feel less painful. A boat launch is less than half a mile away if you're into that. Schools here are part of Grand Rapids Public Schools. Homes run around $212,750, and you're looking at a real neighborhood with actual character, not a subdivision where everything looks the same.
