M. Fitzpatrick Add.
Easy outdoor access
Median $247K·Walkability 5.2/10·Schools 4.1/10
M. Fitzpatrick Add. sits on just 5 acres in John Ball Park, a neighborhood defined by its namesake zoo and green space—and this subdivision captures that character perfectly, with lots averaging 0.11 acres in a walkable corner where downtown Grand Rapids is only 6.5 minutes away. Homes here run around $247K, and you're attending Grand Rapids Public Schools. The zoo itself is a 3-minute walk, while John Ball Park's nine other green spaces dot the immediate surroundings; a restaurant lands within four minutes on foot, and you can catch transit in six. The grocery stores and thirty-some dining spots within a mile mean you're never far from what you need, and if you're into getting on the water, Butterworth Park's boat launch sits less than a mile south. It's the kind of tight, accessible plot where you're genuinely connected to both the neighborhood's character and the wider city.
