This small two-acre plat sits right in the thick of Heartside's arts and entertainment corridor, where the street grid still remembers its warehouse-and-factory past but now pulses with breweries, galleries, and music venues instead—Van Andel Arena is minutes away, and Division Avenue's creative spaces are practically next door. The amended lots along what's now Commerce Street and Ionia Avenue put you steps from restaurants, coffee shops, and a transit stop, with 444 dining options within a mile and Studio Park Piazza adjacent to the property itself. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and downtown is just 1.3 miles away; if you need the river or open water, Butterworth Park Launch sits about a mile south. The walkability here is anchored by dining and transit access, though you'll find 32 parks within a mile when you want some green.
