...—so yeah, H.E. Thompson Add. is this ten-acre platted subdivision right in the heart of Southeast Grand Rapids, just minutes from downtown. The lots are compact, averaging a tenth of an acre, which means neighbors are close enough that you can actually walk to a grocery in three minutes or grab food within four. There are forty-two restaurants within a mile, and Garfield Park is a nine-minute walk away if you need some green space. Transit is right there too—a bus stop is three minutes on foot.
