Riverside Gardens Add. No.5
Strong schools draw families here
Median $328K·Walkability 4.6/10·Schools 4.3/10
What might surprise you about Riverside Gardens Add. No.5 is how close it sits to downtown Grand Rapids—just 9.5 minutes away—while still feeling rooted in a residential pocket with actual yards. The 12-acre subdivision anchors itself with homes that run around $321K, modest by current standards, on lots averaging a third of an acre. You're steps from transit, and the Veterans Nature Trail is a four-minute walk. Restaurants cluster nearby (six within a mile, another accessible by a 14-minute walk), though you'll drive about 1.4 miles for serious grocery runs. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. The Creston neighborhood itself has been quietly filling with people who simply chose to be here—artists, young families, investors—drawn less by hype than by what's actually built: murals along Plainfield Avenue, Riverside Park and its trails a short distance away, the boat launch at Comstock just a mile off. It's the kind of place where proximity matters more than being somewhere else.
