Luce & Hunts Add.
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 4.2/10
The stretch of tree-lined blocks here sits practically on top of downtown—less than four minutes by car—yet you've got the breathing room of a genuine residential neighborhood where 11 acres of platted lots average about a third of an acre each. You're surrounded by the John Ball Park area's defining draw, the zoo and its sprawling grounds, which means green space and walkable paths are genuinely part of your daily texture. Grab coffee at Bitter End or Rise Authentic Baking, and a dozen restaurants within a ten-minute walk keep dinner nights from feeling like a production; hit the nearest grocery in a mile, or choose from nearly twenty stores within two miles if you're picky. Transit access is right at your doorstep, and the boat launch at Butterworth Park sits just three-tenths of a mile away for anyone with a canoe or kayak habit. Schools here feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and you're under 24 minutes to Gerald R. Ford if you're catching a flight.
