Easy outdoor access
Median $384K·Walkability 5.2/10·Schools 4.4/10
Sitting just west of downtown Grand Rapids on the edge of John Ball Park, J.W. Ardnts Sub. is a compact five-acre subdivision where homes run around $384K and you're surrounded by 13 parks within a mile—Lincoln Park is a six-minute walk away. The neighborhood has real bones: tight lots (0.20 acres) in an established area that's been here long enough to feel rooted, with a transit stop practically at your door and a grocery store less than a mile down the road. Restaurants cluster thick around here—84 within walking distance, with coffee at the Bitter End or Rise Authentic Baking just eight minutes on foot. Downtown is a six-minute drive, which means you're close enough to the city's pulse without living in it. It's the kind of place where density doesn't feel cramped because the parks keep everything from getting claustrophobic, and you're attended by Grand Rapids Public Schools.
