Steinmann'S Assessor'S Plat No.14

You're moving through a tight grid of modest homes—ranch cottages, brick Foursquares, smaller Victorian touches—all sitting on tight lots in the heart of Creston, about 4 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Plainfield Avenue, the neighborhood's busy diagonal spine of shops and restaurants, runs close by with over 100 spots to eat within a mile, so grabbing coffee or dinner doesn't require much of a hunt. Mary Waters Park is a quick walk away, and you've got 11 parks within reach if you want to move around the area. Transit is literally at your door—the nearest stop is steps away—and the Gerald R. Ford Airport sits 23 minutes down the road. Homes here run around $232K on average, with lots averaging about 0.13 acres; it's the kind of footprint where you're living close to the action without needing a car for everything. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and the Creston Neighborhood Association keeps the block connected.
