Riverside Gardens Add. No.2

Riverside Gardens Add. No.2 sits on 29 acres of platted land where the median home value hovers around $346K, a quieter pocket within Creston that keeps itself removed from the Plainfield Avenue bustle despite being only 8.8 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. The subdivision's real draw is its proximity to Riverside Park—a five-minute walk delivers you to the Grand River's edge and the trail system that connects the entire waterfront—and the sheer density of amenities compressed into the immediate radius: 18 restaurants, 30 grocers, and a transit stop steps from your property line. Lot sizes average a quarter-acre, which means modest yards but genuine breathing room, and the 29-acre footprint feels intentional rather than cramped. You're close enough to the airport (24.4 minutes) that it's no burden, and close enough to a boat launch at Comstock (0.9 miles) that weekend mornings on the water don't require advance planning. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and the neighborhood's bones—late Victorian and American Foursquare homes scattered throughout Creston—suggest some architectural character worth exploring.
