It's the transit access that really sets this one apart—you've got a stop literally steps away, which means you can leave the car parked and still get around. N W Northrops 3rd Add. sits right in West Grand, just a 7-minute drive from downtown Grand Rapids, so you're close enough to slip into the city but far enough to breathe. Homes run around $200K on average lots that hover near a tenth of an acre each. There's a restaurant practically on your doorstep, and seventy-some more within a mile if you feel like exploring—dining here scores an 8.5 out of 10 for walkability. Parks cluster nearby too (Valley Field is a 10-minute walk), and there are six within a mile. The area offers affordable housing and a small-town-neighborhood vibe despite being part of the second-largest neighborhood in the city. The Grand Rapids Public Schools district serves the area.
