The area sits on the footprint of what was once Ramona Park and its historic pavilion—now home to a distinctive apartment community built in 1965 that's remained a constant through decades of change, with residents calling it home for twenty or thirty years at a stretch. The three-story complex, designed with a novel scale that raised eyebrows when it first went up, proved so appealing that it's become the only remaining apartment development in East Grand Rapids. Neighbors find themselves walking distance to Gaslight Village, several parks, and the local library, with easy access to the amenities that define the broader area.
