H.A. Vedders Sub.
Walkable and connected
Median $205K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.4/10
At late afternoon, when the light hits the brick just right, H.A. Vedders Sub. shows itself as a tight cluster of modest homes on five acres in the John Ball Park neighborhood—the kind of place where a coffee shop is steps away and you're four minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Homes here run around $205K, which buys you proximity to 144 restaurants within a mile and a transit stop practically at your door; groceries are a ten-minute walk, and dining options are even closer. The subdivision sits in what amounts to a dense green belt—fourteen parks within a mile, including Lincoln Park four minutes on foot—with Butterworth Park's boat launch about a mile and a half away if you're the type who moves water around for fun. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and while the neighborhood's walkability leans more toward dining and transit than running errands, the real character comes from living surrounded by the kind of urban density that still has room to breathe.
