Life in O.J. Bissells Add. means downtown Grand Rapids is just 3.5 minutes away, yet you're embedded in the John Ball Park neighborhood—a 1-acre subdivision where transit is literally steps away and a coffee shop sits a 5-minute walk down the street. The nearest restaurant is even closer.

It's a compact, well-connected spot where you're never far from either the zoo's green spaces or the city's pulse.
