You're a five-minute drive from downtown, but the daily rhythm here feels a world apart—you've got John Ball Zoo and Park practically in your backyard, with 14 parks within a mile and green space defining the whole west side. The Picnic Area is a four-minute walk, transit is right there at two minutes on foot, and you can hit a restaurant in the time it takes to lock your door. Grocery shopping is a mile away, and Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area.
