Mol-Dykstra Plat
Strong schools draw families here
Median $306K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 4.8/10
Mol-Dykstra Plat sits in the heart of the North End, a 2-acre subdivision where homes cluster on modest quarter-acre lots and you're roughly 10 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids by car. The median home value hovers around $306K, which reflects what you get here: walkable access to around 30 restaurants within a mile, a transit stop practically at your doorstep, and Huff Park a short stroll away. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and the neighborhood itself carries real character—20-plus murals from the North Quarter Mural Tour, the Creston Brewery in a converted 1929 Art Deco building, and Riverside Park's 100-plus acres with Grand River frontage less than two miles out if you want space to breathe. Gerald R. Ford Airport sits 22 minutes south if travel matters to you.
