Stocking Avenue Condominium
Walkable with great nature access
Walkability 7.6/10·Schools 4.2/10
So here's the thing about living here—you wake up and your errands are basically done before you finish coffee. The nearest grocery is steps away, and if you want to grab something to eat, there's a restaurant a 3-minute walk down the road, with nearly 400 of them scattered within a mile, so you're never eating the same place twice unless you want to. Transit is right there too, basically at your door, which means you're downtown Grand Rapids in about 4 minutes if you need to be, or out to Gerald R. Ford Airport in just over 20 minutes when that time comes around. There's a dog park a short walk away if you've got a four-legged roommate, and Douglas Park is a quick 3-minute stroll if you want some green space—though honestly, there are 23 parks within a mile, so you've got options. The coffee shop is 5 minutes out, and the whole vibe is that you don't need to overthink getting anywhere or finding anything to eat.
