Mary A. Whalen'S Plat

Early morning light hits the brick and modest ranch homes here just right, before the neighborhood fully wakes up. Mary A. Whalen's Plat sits on five acres with lots averaging just under a quarter-acre—tight enough to feel established, spacious enough to breathe. You're steps from a transit stop, and downtown Grand Rapids is six and a half minutes away by car, which means you can work anywhere in the city without the commute eating your life. A restaurant is a four-minute walk, and there are sixty-six of them within a mile, so dinner plans rarely require much planning. Pinery Park is nine minutes on foot, and there are nine parks total within a walking radius. Homes here run around $230K, and you're in the Godfrey-Lee Public Schools district. The real quiet win: a boat launch at Butterworth Park, just under two miles away, for anyone who wants to get on the water without the fuss.
