Holcomb & J. Butler Sub.
Walkable and connected
Median $242K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.3/10
You're a couple blocks from a coffee shop and transit stop, so your morning routine doesn't depend on a car—just grab and go. The dining here is serious: over a hundred restaurants within walking distance, with everything from Rise Authentic Baking Co. to Joey's Tavern to Bitter End filling out the neighborhood character. You're right in John Ball Park, where the zoo anchors things but doesn't define everything; Sibley School Park is basically across the street if you need green space, and the dog park is a short walk if you've got a four-legged friend. Downtown Grand Rapids is four minutes away, and transit stops are steps from your door.
