John E. Nelson'S Loyalty Park Sub.
Walkable and connected
Median $216K·Walkability 6.2/10·Schools 3.8/10
You're a short walk from restaurants—literally steps away—and there's a transit stop two minutes on foot, which means you're not tethered to a car the way you might be elsewhere; downtown Grand Rapids is less than five minutes away when you need it. The subdivision sits on 7 acres of modest lots in Southwest, a riverside neighborhood anchored by museums, breweries, and the kind of walkable commercial strip that actually has character. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. Median home values hover around $124K, and you've got nine parks within a mile—Rasberry Field is a six-minute walk if you want to move without overthinking it. There's a boat launch at Butterworth Park if you're into that sort of thing.
