The coffee shop is steps away, and so is the nearest restaurant—you won't be far from dinner no matter which direction you walk. This 24-acre platted subdivision sits in West Grand, where 294 restaurants cluster within a mile and dining scores are maxed out; the nearest transit stop is equally close, making a car optional for daily errands. Downtown Grand Rapids is just over 5 minutes by car, but the real draw is local texture: Nagold Park is a 7-minute walk, 16 parks sit within a mile, and a grocery store is a quick stroll away. Lot sizes average around 0.13 acres—modest blocks with traditional early-1900s homes. and proximity to the bars, breweries, and restaurants that define the west side. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and Gerald R. Ford Airport is a manageable 23 minutes away.
