When you roll up to this five-acre stretch, you're steps away from a restaurant—no searching required. The subdivision sits packed into Roosevelt Park, where Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area and downtown is a 5.5-minute drive north. Caulfield Park sits a five-minute walk away, and nine parks cluster within a mile, so the neighborhood doesn't lack green space despite its compact footprint. Lots run small—averaging 0.14 acres—which means homes are close together, transit is steps away, and the texture of the place feels walkable in the way older urban subdivisions do: no car required for coffee 0.9 miles out, and fifty-four restaurants within a mile means you're never far from food. It's downtown-adjacent living without downtown prices, the kind of place where a full basement and solid hardwood floors matter more than square footage.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
