Glauz Plat No. 2

Walkability 2.6/10·Schools 4.8/10
You're looking at a tight 3-acre plat in the Harding Estates Area, where downtown Grand Rapids is just 10 and a half minutes away but it doesn't feel like you're living on top of the city—there's actual breathing room here. A coffee shop sits less than a mile off, and you've got a dozen restaurants within walking distance if you want to make an evening of it, though the grocery store is basically next door at a mile out. Four parks scattered within a mile means you're never far from green space, and the nearest one is just a short walk, which is useful when you need to shake off the day. Schools are covered by Walker Charter Academy, and if you're into the water, Comstock Riverside Park Launch is about 2 miles away for boat access. The location lands you close enough to Gerald R. Ford airport at 27 minutes for actual convenience, without the hassle living right near it would bring.
