Gardner'S 2nd Add.
Strong schools draw families here
Median $240K·Walkability 6.3/10·Schools 7.0/10
The lots here are small—quarter-acre plots arranged on a tight grid—which means the homes sit close enough that you can actually see what your neighbors are doing without binoculars. It's a 4-acre subdivision within Hinman's Add. Area, just off the main drag in Sparta, and the real draw is what's already built around you: Spartan Park sits right next door, nine parks within a mile, a restaurant a five-minute walk away, and another seventeen within the neighborhood proper. Groceries are a thirteen-minute walk, and downtown Grand Rapids is about twenty-five minutes if you need it. Homes here run around $240K, which lands you in a place where space is premium and proximity is the whole point. The Sparta Area Schools serve the area, and if you've got a boat, Camp Lake Launch is two and a half miles east.
