Sowerby Add. No.1
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $278K·Walkability 3.9/10·Schools 7.5/10
Sowerby Add. No.1 is a one-acre subdivision where the lots average around a fifth of an acre—tight quarters, but the kind where you're never more than a seven-minute walk from a restaurant or coffee shop. Twenty-six parks sit within a mile, including Pickett Park just a four-minute walk away, and the Rockford-Rogue River boat launch is barely a third of a mile off, so if you've got a canoe in the garage, you're sorted. Downtown Grand Rapids is nineteen minutes away by car, and you've got seventy-eight restaurants and a dozen grocery stores within a mile radius—the place has real access without feeling swallowed by it.
