Island Addition

The platted blocks here sit right where Pike Street and Campau Avenue used to run—vacated strips that are now part of the grid—and you're essentially inside Downtown, so everything moves fast and on foot: coffee two minutes away, restaurants at arm's length, transit stops close enough that you don't need to think about parking, and Louis Campau Promenade right there adjacent if you want green space without leaving the neighborhood. Grand Rapids Public Schools covers the area, and the walkability leans heavy toward dining (10/10 for a reason—456 restaurants within a mile) and transit; downtown proper is a two-minute drive if you even bother getting in the car, which most people don't. There are 28 parks within a mile, including a dog park eight minutes away, and if you want to actually get on the water, Butterworth Park Launch is 1.2 miles south. It's the kind of address where you measure proximity in minutes on foot, not drive time.
