Peck & Veenboers 2nd Add.

Out here on the south side, you're looking at a tight 4-acre grid where the lots run small—roughly a tenth of an acre each—and the whole stretch sits just seven minutes from downtown Grand Rapids by car. Alexander Park is a short walk away, and there are eleven parks within a mile if you're counting green space as part of the deal. Groceries, coffee, and restaurants cluster within less than a mile, and The Rapid stops a two-minute walk from here, which matters if you're ditching the car some days. The neighborhood itself is established early-1900s housing stock with a real cross-section of residents and plenty of original woodwork and hardwood floors in the homes people move into—the kind of place where renovation projects feel doable rather than daunting. Gerald R. Ford International is about 20 minutes out if you need it, and the Southeast End location puts you within reach of both Boston Square and the downtown corridor without the premium price tag of the immediate east side. This is where first-time buyers and investors start, not where they're trying to prove something.
