Sellin-Jackson Addition
Strong schools draw families here
Median $254K·Walkability 5.6/10·Schools 4.3/10
Sellin-Jackson Addition sits on a tight grid of small lots—roughly a tenth of an acre each—in the heart of Highland Park, where homes cluster close enough that you can walk to Eastern Park in two minutes. The subdivision's modest scale, with median home values around $254K, reflects its position as one of Grand Rapids' more affordable residential pockets, just six minutes from downtown and surrounded by over a dozen parks within a mile. A grocery store and transit stop are each under 15 minutes on foot, and 156 restaurants scatter across the neighborhood—from casual spots a seven-minute walk away to the denser dining along Michigan Street and Fulton. Kids attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the airport sits about 20 minutes out, making this addition feel both anchored to the city and removed from its bustle.
