Peck & Veenboers First Add.

What might surprise you about Peck & Veenboers First Add. is how much neighborhood feel you get packed into just five acres—this subdivision sits right in the Southeast End where you're barely eight minutes from downtown Grand Rapids but surrounded by actual greenspace instead of glass towers. Historic homes on tight lots (averaging about a tenth of an acre each) sit within a two-minute walk of transit, which means you can leave the car parked most days if you want to. The nearest restaurant lands less than a mile away, and there are six more within walking radius, while Oakdale Gardens park is just four minutes on foot—handy when you want to step outside without planning a thing. Homes here run around $179K, which matters less than what that price actually buys: proximity to downtown, access to River City Scholars Charter Academy, and a spot in a neighborhood that's been around long enough to have real roots but close enough to new energy to stay interesting.
