Richards Add. sits right in the heart of John Ball Park, a 10-acre pocket subdivision where you're minutes from downtown Grand Rapids yet surrounded by green space—there are a dozen parks within walking distance, and Lincoln Park is just three minutes on foot. Homes here run around $477K on average, spread across lots that average 0.43 acres, and you've got restaurants and coffee shops practically at your doorstep (4 minutes to both). The real draw is location: you're five-and-a-half minutes from downtown, close enough to the zoo and Mines Golf Course to make them genuine weekend spots rather than day trips, and transit access is immediate—a bus stop is steps away. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and if you want to get on the water, Butterworth Park Launch is just over a mile. It's dense enough to feel connected but residential enough that you're not packed in—the kind of neighborhood where you actually know your neighbors without having to try.
