Riverside Gardens Add. No.6 sits on 33 acres in Creston, where transit access is genuinely useful—the nearest stop is just steps away, and downtown Grand Rapids is 8 minutes by car. Homes here run around $481K, which reflects what you'd expect in a neighborhood this close to the city core with restaurants practically on your doorstep and 42 dining options within a mile. The real draw is location: you're sandwiched between genuine urban convenience and actual breathing room, with Briggs Park a 9-minute walk away and a boat launch at Comstock Riverside Park less than a mile off. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. The subdivision's walkability sits at a modest 5.1 out of 10, so a car handles errands smoothly, but transit and dining are genuinely accessible. Grocery stores cluster thickly—30 within two miles—and a coffee shop is under 15 minutes away. This is commuter-friendly living without the sprawl feel.
