Nash'S 2nd Add.

Driving through Nash's 2nd Add. feels like landing in a small-town pocket that somehow stayed intact—10 acres of modest lots (averaging about 6,500 square feet each) where homes run around $255K and the nearest restaurant is literally steps away. The subdivision sits within Hinman's Add. Area, close enough to downtown Grand Rapids (24 minutes) that commuting is painless, but far enough out that you're not paying city prices. Sparta Library Memorial Park is a four-minute walk, and there are nine parks within a mile if you're looking for somewhere to stretch your legs; the grocery store takes about 14 minutes on foot, which is reasonable if you're willing to walk. Eighteen restaurants within a mile means you've got actual options beyond the usual suspects—dinner doesn't require a car trip. It's not a place where you can walk everywhere for everything, but it's not car-dependent either; it just requires you to know what you want and where to find it. Sparta Area Schools serves the area, and if you've got a boat, Camp Lake Launch is about two miles south.
