Van Buren & Turners Add.

People often picture West Grand as purely residential, but Van Buren & Turners Add. puts you in the thick of things—restaurants and coffee shops are literally steps away, and you're surrounded by 294 dining options within a mile, from taquerias to breweries that anchor the neighborhood's beer scene. The subdivision sits on 24 acres of modest lots (averaging just over a tenth acre each), with homes running around $225K, and you're five minutes from downtown Grand Rapids no matter which direction you drive. Transit access is immediate—there's a stop right here—and Nagold Park is a short walk if you need green space, though there are 16 parks within a mile to choose from. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and the whole neighborhood still carries that small-town energy despite 17,000-plus residents and all the urban convenience that comes with being two miles from the city center.
