Forslund Condominium

Sandwiched between the Amway Grand and the JW Marriott, this 18-unit building sits in the thickest part of downtown Grand Rapids, which means you're literally steps from restaurants—462 of them within a mile—and about two minutes from a coffee shop on foot. The condo features hardwood floors, underground parking (a real asset when you're this central), and a rooftop deck that overlooks the action below. Lyon Square sits right adjacent, and a dog park is a seven-minute walk away if you need to burn some energy without leaving the neighborhood. Grocery stores are about an 11-minute walk, transit is two minutes away, and the whole downtown corridor is 1.4 minutes by car—which is less a commute and more a formality. Homes here run around $724K, and you're attending Grand Rapids Public Schools. If you're the type who actually wants to live where things happen rather than drive to them, the tight footprint and the location do the work. Just know what you're signing up for: this is not a sprawl situation. It's dense, walkable, and built for people who think proximity to restaurants and transit beats square footage.
