Quimby

Out here on Quimby Street, you're in the thick of Creston, the neighborhood just north of downtown that's been pulling people in for over a century—and right now it's having a real moment. Early 1900s homes line the street, and newer mixed-use development like The Current adds contemporary apartments alongside that historic residential character. The walk score hovers around 87, which means coffee shops, restaurants, and local retail are genuinely close by; you're not far from the Plainfield and Creston corridor's dining and shopping scene either. Just a few blocks gets you to Riverside Park, Grand Rapids' largest, where trails run alongside the Grand River and connect out to the White Pine Trail system—plus the neighborhood has its own North Quarters Pathways, a set of five loop trails ranging under two miles each that wind through the area. It's that rare blend of urban walkability with real green space and architectural bones that go back generations.
