John Proos Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $325K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.6/10
You'll find something different here than what you might expect from a West Michigan subdivision—John Proos Add. sits right in the thick of West Grand, a dense 2-acre pocket where homes run around $271K and you're never more than a few blocks from actual life happening. Downtown Grand Rapids is just 7 minutes away by car, but the real draw is what's immediately around you: 78 restaurants within a mile, a grocery within a 6-minute walk, and Harrison Park—with its baseball fields and tennis courts—practically at your doorstep. Transit stops are steps away, and the walkability here leans toward errands and dining, which means you can actually run your day on foot if you want to. Homes tend toward modest lot sizes (0.17 acres on average), so you're living close to neighbors and closer still to the energy of the neighborhood—the breweries, the historic churches, the immigrant food traditions that still define the area. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is about 24 minutes north when you need it.
