Richards 2nd Add.
Easy outdoor access
Median $235K·Walkability 5.8/10·Schools 4.3/10
Early evening light hits Richards 2nd Add. best—when the streetlamps start to glow and the modest brick and vinyl homes, most running around $270K, settle into that brief golden hour before dusk. This 12-acre subdivision sits within John Ball Park, where a transit stop is literally steps away and downtown Grand Rapids is just 5 minutes by car, which means the walk to most restaurants here is measured in seconds rather than minutes—there are over 100 within a mile, and a decent coffee shop sits about 7 minutes on foot. Lot sizes hover around a quarter-acre, compact enough to feel neighborly but spacious enough to breathe, and with 13 parks within a mile (plus Picnic Area a short stroll away), the green space density rivals the street density. School assignments go through Grand Rapids Public Schools, and if you need groceries, the nearest option is less than a mile away. The transit access is genuine—not theoretical—which counts for something in a place this close to everything that matters.
