Northrups 2nd Add
Walkable and connected
Median $198K·Walkability 6.5/10·Schools 3.9/10
The block opens onto Madison Avenue, where the rhythm of Southeast Grand Rapids settles into something steady—a tight grid of modest homes on small lots, the kind of neighborhood where a ten-minute walk gets you to downtown or any direction that matters. Northrups 2nd Add sits within the broader Southtown-Madison Square area, a part of the city where community work runs deep: tree planting days, home repair programs, resident leadership training funded by major foundations. The subdivision itself is compact—just over an acre parceled into small residential lots where homes run around $198K, and you're steps from transit, a short walk to one of nine nearby parks including Alexander Park, and surrounded by the actual texture of neighborhood life: forty-two restaurants within a mile, two dozen grocery stores within two miles, coffee shops a quick trip away. Downtown is six minutes by car; everything else is closer.
