Van Der Leest Add. sits in the southern reaches of Roosevelt Park, eight acres of tightly platted lots where homes run around $166K and restaurants start practically at your front door—sixty of them within a mile, many run by longtime owners on nearby Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. Downtown Grand Rapids is five minutes away by car, but you'll find what you need closer: a grocery store a mile out, a coffee shop under a mile, and Grand Rapids Public Schools serving the area. Roosevelt Park itself is a three-minute walk, one of eight parks within a mile that give the neighborhood room to breathe despite the compact lot sizes—average just over a tenth of an acre. Transit stops are steps from most addresses here, and if you've got a boat, Butterworth Park Launch sits less than a mile away on the Thornapple River.
