Kroodsma & De Hoop 2nd Add.

Out here you're minutes from downtown but living on a street where neighbors actually maintain their lawns and invest in their homes—the recent sales tell the story, with full renovations and finished basements the norm rather than the exception. The area sits on quarter-acre lots in a 9-acre pocket with solid access to Godfrey-Lee Public Schools, and the bones of the neighborhood—tree-lined streets, cul-de-sacs, double lots—create real space without sprawl. A transit stop is steps away, which matters more than you'd think when downtown Grand Rapids is just over 7 minutes by car. You've got 36 restaurants within a mile, a dog park a 15-minute walk out, and Kimball Stadium practically next door if you need to stretch your legs; for the water crowd, Butterworth Park Launch sits about 1.6 miles down the road. It's the kind of place where you can grab dinner on foot but you're not crammed in—there's room to breathe, garages are actually functional, and you're genuinely close enough to the city that you don't feel marooned.
