Jed Miner's Addition
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 4.0/10
Late afternoon light hits this stretch hardest—when the sun angles low over the blocks and the sidewalks actually feel like a place to be. You're in Southeast Grand Rapids, where a nonprofit called Seeds of Promise has spent two decades on deliberate neighborhood work: home repair programs, resident-led community teams, and now new single-family construction on formerly vacant land. Dickinson Buffer Park sits a nine-minute walk away, and there are seven parks within a mile. A grocery store and a restaurant are each five minutes on foot, with forty-two dining spots and twenty-four grocers spread across a two-mile radius.
