Picketts Add. sits on five compact acres within Highland Park, where most lots run about a sixth of an acre—tight quarters that keep the whole subdivision within easy reach of Michigan Street's restaurants and bars, the medical mile, and downtown, which is just over five minutes away by car. The neighborhood itself is defined by quiet residential streets with few through roads, and what makes this particular platted section worth mentioning is the sheer density of amenities wrapped around it: fourteen parks within a mile, over two hundred restaurants, and a grocery store a six-minute walk away. You've got a transit stop five minutes on foot and a coffee shop seven minutes out, so if you're the type who doesn't want to drive for errands, this works. Homes here run around $243,000, and you're zoned for Grand Rapids Public Schools—close enough to downtown to grab dinner without planning ahead, far enough from the noise to actually sit on your porch.
