Walkable with great nature access
Median $237K·Walkability 7.2/10·Schools 4.2/10
Lavins Sub. sits within John Ball Park, a west-side neighborhood where most people know their dogs' names before they know the owners'—and the subdivision's tight blocks prove why. At just one acre subdivided into compact lots averaging 0.09 acres, the platted street layout keeps everything within walking distance: a coffee shop four minutes on foot, restaurants scattered across 282 nearby options, and a transit stop steps from your door. Homes here run around $237K and fall under Grand Rapids Public Schools. The real geography of the place reveals itself in what surrounds it—22 parks within a mile, including an unnamed green space two minutes away, and the boat launch at Butterworth Park less than half a mile off. Downtown is just over four minutes away by car, making the subdivision feel like a real neighborhood rather than an outlying pocket.
