Hopson Flats Condominium

This 1905 industrial loft building—44 units stacked across five stories—operates on a co-living model where you lease an individual bedroom in a shared apartment rather than a traditional condo unit. Exposed brick, vintage hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings give the place its character; bedrooms run $640 to $1,125 monthly, with utilities bundled at $55 and internet at $30. You're two blocks from Founders Brewing Company and steps from the Downtown Dog Park. The location itself is the draw here: a three-minute walk lands you at a restaurant or coffee shop, and 408 dining options sit within a mile—not because this is some revitalized warehouse district, but because you're in Oldtown-Heartside, a genuine downtown neighborhood where the building genuinely anchors the streetscape. Transit access is immediate. A fitness center, gaming room, and bike racks round out the shared spaces. Downtown Grand Rapids is 2.2 minutes away by car if you need it; Gerald R. Ford Airport sits about 22 minutes out. The co-living setup appeals to people who want apartment-style independence without the solo lease commitment—you get your own bedroom and bathroom, but split common areas and utilities with housemates. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. With 28 parks within a mile and a boat launch at Butterworth Park (a mile south), the neighborhood doesn't feel cramped despite the density.
