Solid value in a growing area

The thing you notice first is how close everything actually is—downtown Grand Rapids sits just 12.5 minutes away, yet you're on blocks with real breathing room, each lot running around 0.40 acres. Tillitson's Add. spreads across 5 acres in the Riverview Homesites Area, a platted subdivision where homes run around $301K and you're within a 13-minute walk of restaurants and coffee shops, with thirty dining options and thirty grocery stores within a mile or two depending on which direction you head. Five parks cluster nearby, including Grotto Park less than a mile out, and if you've got a boat, Comstock Riverside Park Launch is about 2.4 miles down the road. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, while Gerald R. Ford Airport sits 25.7 minutes north—far enough to feel removed from traffic noise, close enough that the drive's never a hassle.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
