Walkability 4.4/10·Schools 4.6/10
What catches people off guard about this plat is how much green space you've got crammed into just one acre—Grotto Park is a four-minute walk away, and there are six parks within a mile, including the massive Riverside Park with its Grand River frontage and disc golf course. You're looking at tree-lined streets anchored by North Park, the kind of northeast Grand Rapids corner where early 20th-century homes sit alongside mid-century ranches, and a coffee shop is less than a mile down the road.
