🏙️0.6 mito Downtown GR(~1 min drive)

...so this is a 3-acre plat right in the thick of Southeast Grand Rapids, where downtown is basically a 2.7-minute drive away and you're steps from transit stops that connect to the rest of the city. The dining scene is legitimately strong—402 restaurants within a mile, with a coffee shop and restaurants within a 3-minute walk—so you're not scrounging for lunch. Mooney Park is a quick 3-minute walk, and there are 28 parks scattered within a mile if you need green space; Butterworth Park Launch sits about 1.4 miles out for anyone who boats. Grocery options are solid too, with 30 stores within 2 miles and the nearest one just shy of a mile. It's the kind of location where you can hit downtown on foot or bike in a pinch, but most days you're driving—which takes no time at all. The plat itself covers blocks 11–20 in Block 1, blocks 1–5 in Block 2, portions of the school ground and Cass Avenue, and it's situated within the Seeds of Promise service area, where real community work has been happening for over two decades.
