Godfreys Add.
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 3.8/10
The moment you turn onto the street, you notice the trees—mature oaks and maples that shade the whole block—and the low, steady hum of the Grand River a few blocks south. Godfreys Add. is a two-acre pocket in Grandville, close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that you're there in under four minutes, but far enough removed that you actually hear the water. A coffee shop is three minutes on foot. Clemente Park sits a five-minute walk away, one of seventeen parks within a mile, and there are roughly one hundred fifty restaurants and eighteen grocery stores within easy reach—the kind of suburb that doesn't require choosing between access and air.
