James Kennedys Add.

What catches people off guard about this subdivision is how close it sits to everything—downtown's five minutes away, but you're still on residential blocks with Craftsman homes and American Foursquares built a century ago. James Kennedys Add. is small, just an acre carved into lots around 0.12 acres each, which means the homes here run tight and efficient; median values hover around $254K. The real draw is the density of what surrounds you: 223 restaurants within a mile, a transit stop steps from your door, Joe Taylor Park a short walk away with its playground and water features, and thirty grocery stores within two miles. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. You're in Baxter, that historic pocket south of Wealthy Street where red-brick storefronts and local spots like the Wealthy Theatre (1911) have stayed put while the neighborhood around them shifts and settles. It's the kind of place where you can walk to coffee, to dinner, to the bus—or just accept that everything urban is close enough to drive in a couple of minutes.
