O'Keefe Add.
Easy outdoor access
Median $158K·Walkability 5.1/10·Schools 4.3/10
Early morning light hits this three-acre platted subdivision best, when the tree canopy over the modest lots softens the streetscape and you can actually hear yourself think before the day gets going. O'Keefe Add. sits deep in John Ball Park, where the neighborhood's real draw — a world-class zoo, 14 parks within a mile, and more restaurants than you'd expect — means you're living in the kind of place where a coffee run takes seven minutes on foot and downtown Grand Rapids is barely six minutes away. Homes here run around $158K, and with lots averaging nine-hundredths of an acre, you're getting genuine neighborhood density without feeling stacked in; transit access is literally steps away, and if you've got a boat, Butterworth Park's launch ramp is less than half a mile south. Grand Rapids Public Schools feeds the area, and whether you're walking to one of 42 nearby restaurants or just grabbing groceries a mile down the road, everything feels close enough that car-life isn't your default anymore.
