The lots here are small—real small, a sixth of an acre on average—which means you're living close enough to your neighbors that you actually see them, but not so cramped that you feel stacked on top of each other. Nelson Ave. Sub. sits right in the heart of Alger Heights, where the whole neighborhood is basically walkable, with a grocery store about a ten-minute walk away and restaurants—24 of them within a mile—scattered throughout. Downtown Grand Rapids is eleven minutes by car, and the airport's about sixteen.
