Mackus Plat
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $308K·Walkability 4.6/10·Schools 7.0/10
Just east of downtown Grand Rapids, Mackus Plat sits on four acres carved into one of the quieter corners of Vredevoogd Plat Area. Lots average about eighteen-hundredths of an acre—compact, but not claustrophobic—and homes run around $308K. You're thirteen minutes from downtown and a transit stop sits steps away, which means your morning doesn't *have* to involve wrestling with a steering wheel. Mill Race Park is a four-minute walk, and there are three more parks within a mile if you actually use them.
