L.G. Mason & Cos. Sub.
Walkable and connected
Median $235K·Walkability 6.8/10·Schools 4.5/10
What surprises people about this stretch is how close everything actually is—downtown sits a few minutes away by car, yet the neighborhood feels genuinely removed from the rush, with 12 parks within a mile and a grocery, coffee shop, and restaurant practically on your doorstep. The lots themselves are compact at around a tenth of an acre, typical of early 1900s development when the area boomed around the furniture industry, and homes here run the gamut from full reconstructions with new mechanicals and quartz kitchens to promising fixer-uppers on corner parcels waiting for vision. You're blocks from transit—transit scores here are maxed out—and about six minutes from downtown, which means you get the walkability of errands and dining (both scoring 8 out of 10) without the downtown price tag or commute. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the neighborhood, and if water's your thing, a boat launch at Comstock Riverside Park sits about a mile and a half away. The character here is practical: wide porches, hardwood floors, fresh paint, updated windows, open floor plans—the kind of bones that say "someone lived here and meant it," not "someone flipped it."
