What's surprising about this wedge of West Michigan is how much green space you're standing in—nearly half the neighborhood is parks, and you're steps from downtown Grand Rapids while surrounded by the animals, grounds, and walking trails of John Ball Zoo, one of the oldest in the country. This amended plat sits in John Ball Park, where a restaurant is four minutes on foot and a dog park five, making the logistics of daily life feel almost absurdly convenient; transit stops are essentially your front door, the Gerald R. Ford Airport runs about 21 minutes by car, and downtown is 3.3 miles away. Homes here run around the market rate for the area, with Grand Rapids Public Schools serving the subdivision and Ah-Nab-Awen Park a four-minute walk for anyone who needs even more open air. You're living in a pocket where 438 restaurants cluster within a mile—Rise Authentic Baking Co., Joey's Tavern, Bitter End coffee—so the question isn't whether you can eat well, it's which direction you feel like walking.
