Kendall's 2nd Addition
Strong schools draw families here
Median $506K·Walkability 5.9/10·Schools 4.2/10
When you turn onto Michigan Street, the alley width tells you this is old-city density—tight lots, narrow passages, the kind of grid that was platted when land meant something. This stretch sits in the heart of Downtown, where the ArtPrize installations rotate through storefronts and the Medical Mile's research facilities anchor the northern blocks, so transit is essentially at your doorstep and a coffee shop is a three-minute walk in any direction. The subdivision itself is small—just over an acre split across multiple amended platted sections—but the neighborhood context is enormous: 534 restaurants within a mile, 32 parks including Crescent Park a short walk away, and the kind of walk score built on grocery stores, fitness options, and the perpetual hum of something happening. You're two and a half minutes from downtown proper, twenty minutes from the airport, and enrolled in Grand Rapids Public Schools. The real character here isn't in the lots themselves—it's in the alleyways and the blocks they anchor, where density and mixed-use living are the baseline assumption.
