Kendall's Addition

The vacated streets here—Barclay Avenue and Willow Court—are the giveaway that this five-acre plat in Oldtown-Heartside has been through a real reorganization. Set just 2.3 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, Kendall's Addition sits in a neighborhood defined by brick warehouses turned breweries, galleries spilling across Division Avenue, and the kind of density that makes transit a non-issue—the nearest stop is practically at your doorstep. A restaurant is a three-minute walk away; coffee's four minutes. The 576 restaurants within a mile aren't hyperbole—you're in the entertainment district proper. Veteran's Memorial Park lands five minutes on foot, and 34 parks dot the surrounding mile, which matters when you're working within tight urban lots. The amended plat consolidates parcels across two blocks, giving shape to what was once scattered property. Grocery runs mean heading roughly a mile out, and the Gerald R. Ford International Airport sits 21.4 miles north. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools.
