Riverside Gardens Add. No.17 is a compact four-acre subdivision in Creston where you're about nine minutes from downtown Grand Rapids but surrounded by local restaurants and shops. The neighborhood sits on quarter-acre lots—modest by today's standards, which keeps homes here around $436K and means your neighbors aren't three football fields away. A restaurant is a four-minute walk, and there are thirty within a mile; the nearest transit stop is three minutes on foot. Riverside Park, the city's largest, sits nine minutes away with trails along the Grand River, and seven parks fall within a mile. If you boat, the Comstock Riverside Park Launch is less than a mile out. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the airport is roughly 24 minutes north. This is where older, smaller homes and tight blocks define the character—no sprawl, no pretense, just proximity to what matters.
