Perkins Add sits on Belknap Lookout's eastern edge, a seven-acre grid of modest lots where a 160-foot bluff frames your horizon and downtown Grand Rapids glows just under five minutes away by car. The lots run tight—about 0.12 acres each—so homes cluster close, and you're steps from transit if you need it. Mary Waters Park is a two-minute walk, and over a dozen more parks fill the mile around you; 138 restaurants sit within a mile, plus 42 grocery stores and coffee shops scattered across two miles. Homes here run around $200K, and you're zoned for Grand Rapids Public Schools. The Medical Mile's proximity and freeway access make this corner useful—downtown's near enough to walk to on a good day, and the airport's about 22 minutes out. It's tight urban living without the downtown density.
