Peck & Veenboers First Add.

Hardwood floors and enclosed porches define the bungalow character here—early 20th-century homes on tight lots that keep you steps from everything. Downtown Grand Rapids sits just under 9 minutes away, which means you're genuinely close to restaurants and shops without the commute feeling like a daily negotiation. The Rapid bus stop is a 2-minute walk, six restaurants cluster within a mile, and Oakdale Gardens park is a quick stroll for the playground. Lots run around 0.15 acres—small enough to be manageable, large enough for a proper backyard and detached garage. This stretch of Southeast End pulls first-time buyers and people looking to stay central without the price tag of the neighborhoods immediately to the east; nearby grocery runs land you at one of 48 stores within two miles, and if you need to hit Gerald R. Ford airport, it's under 20 minutes. River City Scholars Charter Academy serves the area. The bones here are solid—original details, recent updates, front porches where you'll actually sit.
