Montgomerys Sub.

The thing you notice first about Montgomerys Sub. is how tightly knit the blocks are—two acres of modest lots where the houses sit close enough that you know your corner. It's a small platted subdivision in Highland Park, that dense residential pocket of Grand Rapids where the streets curve just enough to feel separate from the city humming five minutes away downtown. There are a dozen parks within a mile, including the 28-acre Highland Park itself, a seven-minute walk that anchors the whole neighborhood with sledding hills, disc golf, and ball diamonds. Nearly two hundred restaurants cluster within a mile, and you're steps from transit; the median home here runs around two hundred thirty-four thousand dollars.
