Panfil's Assessor's Plat No.28
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 4.2/10
This amended plat sits right in the thick of John Ball Park, where you're steps from a transit stop and the nearest restaurant is a 4-minute walk away—that density of dining (438 places within a mile) means you're eating out on a whim more often than not. Fish Ladder Park is a 3-minute walk, and there's a dog park at 6 minutes if you need it, though the whole area leans dog-friendly enough that locals say they know the dogs' names before the owners'. Downtown Grand Rapids is 3.4 minutes away by car, and you've got grocery stores and coffee shops within reasonable reach. The Grand Rapids Public Schools district covers the area, and transit access is genuinely immediate—no hunting for the stop. It's the kind of West Side location where you get real neighborhood bones and walkable retail (dining especially), even if errands require a bit more planning than pure urban blocks do.
