Maple Row Plat

Platted in the early 20th century on just 10 acres, Maple Row is hemmed in by the walkable streets and brick bungalows of Alger Heights, a corner of Grand Rapids that somehow grew during the Depression when everywhere else was shrinking. Lots here are modest—a shade over 0.16 acres each—which means the homes themselves stay intimate, and you're never more than an eight-minute walk to a grocery, a restaurant, or coffee. There's a transit stop practically at your door, and Seymour Park is a short stroll away. Homes run around $295K, and the Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area. What makes Maple Row feel less like a subdivision and more like an accident of good fortune is that it sits in the middle of a neighborhood known for staying put—the kind of place where people actually live out their leases, not just pass through.
