This 11-acre platted subdivision sits on the steep topography of Belknap Lookout, where the everyday rhythm involves stairs—lots of them—and a 4-minute walk to a restaurant or coffee shop when the grade permits. Homes here run around $244K on average, set on tight 0.18-acre lots that reflect the neighborhood's compact, hilly character. Downtown Grand Rapids is a quick 4-minute drive, and a transit stop lands just 3 minutes away on foot, which matters given the terrain that discourages long walks. Reservoir Park sits right next door, one of 17 parks within a mile, while the broader neighborhood rings with over 350 restaurants and coffee spots—though the nearest grocery store requires about an 11-minute walk, a logistical wrinkle worth knowing. Kids attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, and if you're flying out, Gerald R. Ford airport is 21.8 minutes away.
