First Street Condominium

You're walking out your door and hitting a coffee shop in five minutes, or grabbing groceries that are basically on your doorway—that's the First Street rhythm. A transit stop is right there too, which means you can ditch the car on days when downtown Grand Rapids or the airport run actually calls for it. The dining scene here is genuinely dense; nearly 400 restaurants within a mile isn't just a number, it's a Tuesday-night decision problem. Douglas Park sits a three-minute walk away, and there are 27 parks scattered within a mile of the place, so if you're the type who wants green space close enough to actually use it, the setup works. When you want to push past the neighborhood, downtown is about four minutes away, which is close enough to feel connected but far enough that things stay low-key here. The condo sits near John Ball Park, anchoring you to one of the area's defining open spaces, and the walkability scores—especially that 9.4 for dining and 10 for transit—tell you this is the kind of address where your feet and a transit card do most of the heavy lifting. Schools in the area are part of the NexTech High School district. Homes here run in the mid-range for the area, and they tend to move people who've gotten tired of spreading out and want their daily life tighter, walkable, and surrounded by actual options.
