Houseman'S Fair Ground Add.

If you're heading there to see what a real neighborhood looks like—not some polished marketing version—you're already in the right mindset. Houseman's Fair Ground Add. is a thirty-one-acre platted subdivision in Southeast Grand Rapids where the lots run small (about a tenth of an acre each) and the bones of the place are honest: you're close to downtown—five and a half minutes by car—with nearly fifty restaurants and two dozen grocery stores within walking distance. A transit stop sits steps away, and Rasberry Field is a seven-minute walk when you need air. Homes run around $167K, which means real people live here, not an abstract future.
