Solid value in a growing area
Median $206K·Walkability 5.9/10·Schools 4.0/10
What you might expect from a platted subdivision in Southeast Grand Rapids shifts the moment you walk these three acres: modest homes on tight lots, yes, but ringed by forty-two restaurants within a mile, eight parks nearby, and a transit stop practically at your doorway. L.K. Rathbuns sits in the thick of neighborhood life, where a grocery store is a ten-minute walk and a coffee shop a little further, where the work of Seeds of Promise has quietly reshaped what's possible on small ground. Homes here run around $171K, and the lots average a tenth of an acre—room enough to matter, not so much that you're isolated from what's happening around you.
