What catches you immediately about W. F. Capens Sub. is the elevation—you're perched on a bluff that rises 160 feet above downtown Grand Rapids, and from here the city spreads out below you in a way that changes depending on the time of day. The six-acre subdivision sits within Belknap Lookout, a neighborhood that earned its name honestly. Lot sizes average three-quarters of an acre, enough breathing room in a part of town where historic homes from the late eighteen-hundreds share streets with newer construction. You're minutes from the Medical Mile and its cluster of healthcare facilities, and downtown itself is about four minutes away by car.
