What catches people off guard is how much green space wraps around this ten-acre subdivision—you're surrounded by parks, with a dozen within a mile and Lincoln Park practically on your doorstep. The Ball Park Plat sits in John Ball Park, the neighborhood built around the zoo and all that open land, so even though homes here run around $253K on average, you're not trading space for price. A restaurant or coffee shop is a short walk away, and the grocery stores and transit options nearby mean you're not dependent on a car for the everyday stuff—though downtown is only about six minutes away if you need it. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and you've got the quirky draw of living in a neighborhood where the parks and zoo are basically part of your backyard.
