Out here along the riverfront, the surprise is that downtown living doesn't require compromise—exposed brick and lofted wood beams sit alongside stainless steel and granite counters, and the condos overlook the Grand River or quiet forest courtyards depending on which way your unit faces. The neighborhood centers on Boardwalk Condos, a conversion of a 100-plus-year-old historic building that's become the area's defining address, with two-bedroom units and sprawling one-bedrooms drawing people who want riverfront access without leaving the urban core. Open floor plans, full kitchens, and wall-sized windows facing the water or the city skyline dominate the listings; these aren't modest studios but genuine entertaining spaces with room to breathe. It's a short walk to Grand Rapids proper and all its restaurants, breweries, and galleries, which means you're living in a converted brick warehouse with the energy of the city spilling right up to your building's edge.
