Kensboro
Solid value in a growing area
Median $305K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 4.6/10
Driving through Kensboro feels like landing in one of those rare pockets where you're genuinely close to everything—a restaurant is a quick walk, downtown is eleven minutes away, and the Grand River's kayak launch is less than two miles out. The neighborhood sits comfortably in North Park, a northeast corner of Grand Rapids lined with older homes and tree-heavy blocks, and Kensboro itself is a seventy-six-acre subdivision with modest lot sizes (about a third acre each) that keeps things compact and connected. You're practically on top of transit, and there are four parks within a mile—including an unnamed green space that's a five-minute walk away.
