O.E. Kilstroms Sub.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $235K·Walkability 5.9/10·Schools 4.0/10
The subdivision sits quietly in Southeast Grand Rapids, a handful of modest homes on small lots where the rhythm of the neighborhood hums along Madison Avenue. You're a five-minute walk from Dickinson Buffer Park and steps away from a transit stop—the kind of location where you don't need a car for every errand, even though driving downtown takes just nine minutes. Over forty restaurants are within a mile, and grocery options abound nearby. The median home value hovers around one hundred seventy-four thousand dollars, and the Grand Rapids Public Schools district serves the area.
