Van Dykes Plat spans just four acres, with lot sizes averaging a sixteenth of an acre—tight quarters that trade sprawl for walkable proximity to everything. You're in North End, eight and a half minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, where forty-two restaurants and two dozen grocery stores pack the surrounding mile. Aberdeen Park sits a four-minute walk away, and a transit stop is five minutes on foot, which matters if you're not interested in driving every errand. Homes here run around $276K.
