Park View Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $206K·Walkability 6.3/10·Schools 4.0/10
Park View Add. sits nine acres in Southeast Grand Rapids, about eight minutes from downtown—close enough to slip into the city proper but rooted in its own block. Lot sizes run tight at about 0.12 acres each, the kind of footprint that keeps things walkable to a grocery store in nine minutes or a restaurant in six. Homes here hover around $186K. The real draw is what's already built around you: twelve parks within a mile, fifty-four restaurants nearby, and a transit stop steps from your door. Garfield Park is a four-minute walk, making it the natural gathering place. Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area. Downtown is close enough for a quick commute; the airport runs just under twenty minutes if you're headed that direction. This is the kind of place where density works because someone put thought into spacing—enough room to breathe, enough access to matter.

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