A Rollicking Adventure on the Rapids of Choice

Who knew selecting a neighborhood was akin to picking candy in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory? You see, there’s a Grand Rapids neighborhood that pulsates with your heartbeat.

For the artsy, wine-sipping, beret-donning clan, jog to Monroe North. Or, perhaps, you belong to the hipster tribe and love a good smoothie with a side of John Green novels? Head to Eastown.

But if your heart yearns for the dance of dollars, East Grand Rapids, with its lush, manicured lawns and gleaming Beemers, will welcome you with open wallets—uh, I mean arms.

Then there’s Comstock Park for the nature loving, mountain-man-beard-wearing, camp-fire-making enthusiast who loves his morning with a grand view.

Have your pick from these m&ms of neighborhoods. It’s a brave new world out there in the realm of real estate. Good luck with the neighborhood Nutella spread — thirteen choices, one city, and an abundance of adventures.

Everything said and done, as far as Redfin’s wisdom goes, we all know that no matter where you decide to dig in, remember what makes a house a home—it’s not the four walls but the two-legged, sometimes-four-legged companions gracing it with warmth and often a lot of fur. Farewell, future Grand Rapidians! Happy neighborhood hunting!
