Marketplace Square Condominium
Strong schools draw families here
Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 8.5/10
Walking through Marketplace Square, you're right at the intersection of convenience and breathing room—grocery stores and restaurants practically at your doorstep, yet the community itself sits on five acres with genuine space to move around. The location on Grand River Drive near East Fulton puts you about 16 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and close enough to Gerald R. Ford Airport that a quick trip won't eat your whole morning, while Settler's Grove Township Park is just a two-minute walk if you need to clear your head. There are eighteen restaurants within a mile and seven parks scattered nearby, so you're never far from either dinner out or a proper outdoor break.
