This compact 3-acre community offers an ideal blend of urban convenience and walkable living in Kent County. With excellent walkability scores across dining, errands, and transit, residents enjoy easy access to 56 restaurants within a mile and grocery stores just steps away. The intimate scale creates a close-knit feel, with smaller lot sizes that encourage neighborly connections while keeping maintenance manageable.

The location excels for those who prefer getting around on foot or by transit, with coffee shops and dining options practically at your doorstep. While outdoor recreation requires a short trip to Fisk Lake or one of the 16 parks within a mile, the trade-off is remarkable urban amenities. Students attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, with access to some highly-rated options nearby. This area works best for urban-minded residents who value convenience, walkability, and being at the center of city life.
