Miner & Murrays Sub
Solid value in a growing area
Median $219K·Walkability 5.3/10·Schools 4.0/10
Out here you're on a quiet stretch with mature trees lining the street, close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that a 9-minute drive gets you there, but far enough out that you've got room to breathe—the subdivision sits on just over 3 acres with small, manageable lots. Dickinson Buffer Park is a short walk away, and there's real density of green space nearby: nine parks within a mile keeps things open and accessible. The neighborhood has serious bones—original hardwood, vintage woodwork, and brick homes that show their age well—and what makes it work is the practical stuff: a transit stop three minutes on foot, restaurants (48 of them within a mile) close by, and a grocery within a reasonable walk. Gerald R. Ford Airport is about twenty minutes out if you need it. This is the kind of place where the bones matter more than the flash, where you're buying into an actual neighborhood with roots rather than a newly minted development.
