Walkable and connected
Median $215K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.1/10
You're just four minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, but Mary A. Alger Sub. keeps its own rhythm—a tight 4-acre subdivision where the lot sizes average 0.14 acres, meaning houses sit close enough that you're genuinely part of what's happening around you. Homes here run around $215K, and you've got transit literally at your doorstep; a restaurant is a 6-minute walk away, and there are 186 within a mile if you're tired of cooking. Paul I Phillips Recreation Center is a quick 5-minute stroll, backed by 15 parks in the surrounding mile—so green space isn't hard to find. The subdivision sits within the Seeds of Promise area, where the Southeast Grand Rapids community has been investing in real transformation: home repairs, tree planting, resident-led initiatives. School-age kids attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, and if you're heading out to Gerald R. Ford Airport, you're looking at about 24 minutes.
