Oakdale Park Add
Easy outdoor access
Walkability 5.2/10·Schools 4.0/10
...and what you're looking at is a tight parcel in Southeast Grand Rapids, just off Cottage Grove, where a single acre of amended lots and vacated street space has been assembled into something workable. Eight parks within walking distance, a grocery store less than a mile away, and 36 restaurants scattered throughout the surrounding mile—so you're not starving for options. The nearest transit stop is literally steps away, and downtown is a straight shot at eight and a half minutes by car. Dickinson Buffer Park sits three minutes on foot, the kind of green space that actually anchors a neighborhood rather than decorating it.
