Uptown Commercial Condominiums
Walkable near top schools
Walkability 8.2/10·Schools 4.1/10
So here's the thing about Uptown Commercial Condominiums — you've got 235 restaurants within a mile, which means you're basically never cooking dinner unless you want to. It's the kind of location where your nearest grocery, coffee shop, and transit stop are all steps away, so errands stop being errands and start being reasons to get out of the condo. The walkability here is genuinely high (8.2/10, with dining at a perfect 10), and you're positioned right in Baxter, just a few minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Joe Taylor Park is a quick four-minute walk if you need to clear your head, and there are twenty parks within a mile total — plenty of green space woven into the urban fabric. Dining options range from The Electric Cheetah's craft root beers to Forty Acres Soul Kitchen, so you're surrounded by actual neighborhood spots, not chains.
