Powers' Paris Addition
Solid value in a growing area
Median $173K·Walkability 5.4/10·Schools 4.0/10
This one-acre plat sits squarely in the Southeast End, about eight and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, and homes here run around $173K—entry-level pricing that explains why the neighborhood has become a launching pad for first-time buyers who want walkable streets and urban amenities without the high property taxes of nearby East Grand Rapids. The amended subdivision carves out just ten-cent lots on average, tight quarters typical of early 1900s urban development, but you're surrounded by nine parks within a mile, including Oakdale Gardens a five-minute walk away, and a half-dozen restaurants and six grocery stores nearby mean you won't starve while you're settling in. A transit stop sits five minutes on foot, Gerald R. Ford airport is just over twenty minutes away, and the median home price here reflects the real deal: genuine affordability in a corner of Grand Rapids where the bones of old neighborhoods still hold up.
