Flat River Main Street Condominiums
Walkable near top schools
Median $302K·Walkability 7.2/10·Schools 7.7/10
What catches most people off guard about this condo community is how much walkable life happens right on Main Street—you're literally steps from a restaurant, with 24 more dining options within a mile, and Richards Park sits just a four-minute walk away. The location puts you close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (about 28 minutes) and Gerald R. Ford Airport (roughly 25 minutes) to make either commute manageable, yet the neighborhood itself has its own pulse, with Stoney Lake less than a mile away and four parks within easy reach. Homes here run around $302K, and you're in the Lowell Area Schools district. There's a coffee shop about a mile down the road, and if you need groceries, six stores sit within two miles—close enough that Main Street living doesn't mean sacrificing convenience.
