Highly rated schools nearby
Median $271K·Walkability 2.0/10·Schools 6.2/10
You're looking at a compact six-acre plat tucked into the Riverview Homesites Area, where lots average around a fifth of an acre. The subdivision's close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that a drive takes just over 12 minutes, and you've got 54 restaurants and 30 grocery stores within a mile or two—so running errands doesn't mean leaving the neighborhood. Northview Public Schools serves the area, and if you want to get outside, Dwight Lydell County Park is a mile away, with two parks nearby to explore.
