Murphy Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $236K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 3.5/10
Grab coffee—there's a spot a few minutes' walk away—and you're basically on top of downtown Grand Rapids, seven minutes by car through a neighborhood where thirty restaurants sit within a mile and eight parks anchor the blocks around you. Murphy Add. is small, just five acres of tight lots averaging a tenth of an acre each, the kind of close-quarters subdivision where you notice the details: a transit stop two minutes on foot, a dog park a thirteen-minute walk, Kimball Stadium for evening games. Homes here run around $236K, and Godfrey-Lee Public Schools serves the area. The grocery and coffee runs stretch a bit further—the nearest grocer is 1.2 miles out—but that restaurant density tells the real story: this is a place where you walk to dinner, not drive to find it, and the city's pull is constant and close.
