O. S. Waters Sub. sits within Creston, Grand Rapids' largest neighborhood, where the blocks are tight and the lot sizes smaller—averaging just a tenth of an acre on this one-acre platted subdivision. Homes here run around $211K, putting them within reach for first-time buyers and investors drawn to the area. The real asset is location: you're 4 minutes from downtown, steps from a transit stop, and surrounded by 84 restaurants and 36 grocers within a mile radius. Mary Waters Park is an 8-minute walk away, and 11 parks sit within a mile, including access to the Grand River via nearby Riverside Park. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. Coffee shops, grocery runs, and dining hit between 3 and 7 minutes on foot, and fitness options score an 8 out of 10 for walkability—the real story here is that you're plugged into the Plainfield Avenue corridor where the neighborhood's food and retail pulse actually lives.
