Solid value in a growing area
Median $247K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 3.5/10
The streets here roll through quiet blocks of modest, updated homes—three and four bedrooms, mostly, with hardwood floors and bonus rooms that double as offices or playrooms. Walk four minutes and you're at a restaurant; most days the nearest coffee shop is a short drive away. Seven parks sit within a mile, including Kimball Stadium just a nine-minute walk, where there's room to stretch. Downtown Grand Rapids is eight minutes by car, and the airport sits a comfortable twenty-three minutes out. Thirty restaurants cluster nearby, with two dozen grocers within two miles—so the everyday errands aren't a burden. Lot sizes run small and tight, which means less land to maintain and more walkability to neighborhood stops; a transit line is four minutes on foot, and there's a dog park eleven minutes away. For families and first-time buyers looking to anchor close to the city without the commute, this stretch offers the bones of a straightforward life, with Godfrey-Lee Public Schools serving the area.
