Great schools with outdoor access
Median $320K·Walkability 5.6/10·Schools 7.1/10
Locke Avenue runs through a small two-acre subdivision where lots average about a quarter-acre—tight enough that you're looking at modest, close-set homes rather than sprawling properties. Homes here run around $296K, and they're served by Grandville Public Schools. You're roughly 14 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which means the commute stays reasonable without feeling like you're living in the thick of it. The real convenience shows up in the immediate surroundings: a restaurant is a three-minute walk away, a coffee shop nine minutes, and transit sits just three minutes on foot. Peck Street Park lands within a two-minute walk, and there are four parks total within a mile, plus 54 restaurants and 24 grocery stores within that same radius. If you boat, Grandville Launch is less than a mile out. This is part of the larger Rose Sub. Area, where density and walkable access to food and services define the feel more than the size of your yard does.
