    Top rated for Location
    The apartments are brand new, good quality, thoughtfully designed. The road noise is very loud. My apartment is on Leonard and I can’t have my screen door open and hear TV or anything else. Management is ok, not overly friendly or do they seem concerned about returning emails in a timely manner. Maintenance is responsive. Parking is alright, I pay $60 and usually can find a spot in the lot. The parking lot design isn’t very winter friendly. It’s got two levels and is only one-way, so in the winter the snow became an issue.

    I love the area and how spacious the home is. The only concern is that it is slightly outdated, but that can be mitigated with the right decorating.

West Grand
West Grand
What it’s like to live in West Grand
Creative energy pulses through West Grand, where Grand Rapids' most dynamic neighborhood evolution continues transforming former industrial spaces into distinctive living environments. Converted warehouses now house loft apartments with architectural features impossible to replicate in new construction, while independent businesses flourish along the commercial corridors. Rental options span from affordable apartments above storefronts to luxury lofts in premium buildings. Though some areas remain works in progress with limited grocery options and occasional industrial noise, the walkable access to breweries, coffee shops, and riverside trails creates a genuinely vibrant urban experience increasingly rare in mid-sized Midwestern cities. Perfect for those who prefer authentic urban character over polished perfection.

What it’s like to live in Swan
Perched on a bluff overlooking the Grand River, Swan neighborhood combines affordability with unexpected natural beauty minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Many rentals in this historic district feature views of either the river or downtown skyline from their elevated position. The neighborhood provides excellent access to both riverside trails and the developing West Side business district with its breweries and restaurants. While some blocks remain in transition with varied building conditions and winter river winds can be biting, Swan offers some of Grand Rapids' best combinations of urban proximity, natural beauty, and housing value. Ideal for those who appreciate neighborhoods on the upswing and value scenic surroundings over maximum amenities.

Living in Grand Rapids, MI

On the classic Michigan Hand Map, Grand Rapids is located roughly in the middle of the right hand, between the ring finger and pinkie. If you don't know about the Hand Map, and you're considering a move to the great state of Michigan, we suggest you get to know it ASAP. Believe it or not, Michiganders really do often utilize these “handy” bodily maps as visual aids. So, what's so great about living in this part of the north paw? Plenty, actually. Cultural opportunities abound, commutes are a cinch, public spaces are ample, the beaches of that one really big lake are just 30 minutes away and, most importantly, the local beer is good. For a 10 minute tour of the city and a peek at nearly 3,000 of its inhabitants, just watch Rob Bliss' world record-breaking Lip Dub video.

With average winter low temps hovering around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, living in Grand Rapids pretty much requires a car
