Jenesen Addition
Walkable with great nature access
Walkability 7.4/10·Schools 3.3/10
You pull up and the first thing you notice is how close everything sits—9 acres of residential blocks where you can practically reach the next street without trying. This amended plat spans 63 lots across what used to be Drukker Street and a vacated public alley, landing you right in Garfield Park, where Division Avenue's lineup of taquerias and Latin grocers is just a short drive away. Downtown Grand Rapids is under 9 minutes, and you've got a transit stop practically on your doorstep—but honestly, you're walking to restaurants in 7 minutes anyway. Plaster Creek park hits your block in 3 minutes on foot, and there are 9 parks within a mile if you want options. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools. The nearest grocery lands at 0.8 miles, coffee shops the same distance, and if you're counting dining spots within a mile, you're looking at 48. Gerald R. Ford Airport sits 19 minutes out when you need it.
