What might surprise you is how walkable this five-acre subdivision actually is—you can handle most errands on foot, grab coffee steps from your door, and hit one of 150 restaurants within a mile without thinking twice about it. Located in the Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, Kennedys Sub. sits close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that a commute takes under ten minutes, yet you've got John Collins Park practically next door and Reeds Lake less than a mile away if you need to escape. Transit access is right here too, which takes some pressure off the car situation. Homes run in the mid-$500Ks, and you're zoned for East Grand Rapids Public Schools. The real win is the density of actual stuff around you—36 grocery stores within two miles, six parks nearby—without feeling crammed in.
