Gelock & Van Brees 2nd Add.
Walkable near top schools
Median $230K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.5/10
Walks here happen at a clip—the corner grocery a few minutes out, a restaurant waiting another block or two, transit stops practically on the doorstep. Seven acres of modest lots, each around a tenth of an acre, sit woven into West Grand, where over 150 restaurants and three dozen grocers within a mile or so mean you're never far from what you need. Downtown Grand Rapids lands in under seven minutes by car; the airport takes about 24. Harrison Park, with its baseball diamonds and courts, sits a ten-minute walk away, one of seven parks clustered nearby. The bones here are solid—hardwood floors, updated kitchens, detached garages tucked on alleys—the kind of home-by-home care that reads like someone actually lives in these walls. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and transit access tops the walkability scorecard at a perfect 10. This is the kind of stretch where the living isn't complicated, just reliable.
