...so yeah, Smiths Add. is basically right in the thick of Heritage Hill, which means you're living in the middle of one of the biggest historic districts in the country. The subdivision sits on fifteen acres with tight lots—averaging a tenth of an acre—so homes are close together, and that's kind of the whole point. You're a two-minute walk from Foster Park, and there are about thirty parks within a mile if you want options. Downtown Grand Rapids is practically next door, under two minutes away, so you're not really commuting anywhere.
