Mckay Tower Condominium
Walkable and connected
Median $418K·Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 4.1/10
Walking out your door at Mckay Tower means stepping into Downtown Grand Rapids—literally. You're adjacent to Rosa Parks Circle, and from there, the neighborhood unfolds on foot: coffee shops and restaurants are steps away, the nearest transit stop is right there, and you've got over four hundred and seventy dining options within a mile if you ever want to wander. The tower itself sits where the Medical Mile meets the creative pulse of the city, surrounded by world-class research institutions, galleries, and breweries that have made Grand Rapids known for its craft beer scene. During ArtPrize—the world's most attended public art event—the whole downtown becomes a living gallery, with installations popping up in parks and on building facades. On quieter days, you're a minute or two from downtown proper, but the real rhythm is right where you live.
