Kellogg & Bemis 2nd Add.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $267K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 3.8/10
You walk in expecting a quiet streetcar-suburb block, but instead you get a genuine hub—restaurants within a five-minute stroll, a grocery store just as close, and transit stops practically at your doorstep. The neighborhood itself is 20 acres of early homes with real architectural character: hardwood floors, fireplaces, the kind of restored details that matter. Sigsbee Park is a four-minute walk away, and there are eleven parks within a mile if you're the type who actually uses them. Downtown is barely seven minutes by car, and the dining scene here is serious—nearly 250 restaurants within walking distance means you're not eating the same thing twice. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and that transit score of 10/10 means you can get almost anywhere without a car if that appeals to you. The lot sizes are modest—a tenth of an acre on average—which is exactly why the walkability works; everything clusters tight enough that the neighborhood has actual texture instead of just road.
