Martin Luther King Jr. Park sits three minutes on foot from the homes here, and with seven parks scattered within a mile, there's rarely a reason to venture far for green space. H. Haftenkamps Add. itself spans just five acres in the Southeast End, a neighborhood where affordability and proximity collide—you're minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and within walking distance of The Rapid transit stops, yet removed enough from the urban core to feel like a genuine residential pocket. The subdivision's modest lot sizes (around 0.13 acres each) anchor a streetscape of older, character-heavy homes; median values hover around $331K, and the area is served by Grand Rapids Public Schools. A grocery store or coffee shop sits about a fifteen-minute walk away, with over a hundred restaurants within a mile if you're willing to drive. Downtown is eight minutes north.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
