This compact 6-acre pocket of Kent County puts you right in the heart of Grand Rapids' urban energy. With an impressive 44 restaurants within a mile and excellent transit access, you're perfectly positioned to explore everything the city offers. Coffee lovers will appreciate having quality spots like Lantern Coffee Bar just steps away, while John Ball Zoo and downtown attractions are within easy reach.

The area features smaller lot sizes averaging 0.13 acres, creating a close-knit community feel where neighbors are nearby but not on top of each other. With 21 parks within a mile including Sibley School Park, outdoor recreation stays accessible despite the urban setting.

This location works perfectly for young professionals, students, and anyone who wants to walk to coffee shops and restaurants while staying connected to Grand Rapids' vibrant downtown scene.
