557 Walnut St NE

Enjoy the convenience of city living without sacrificing peace and privacy. This charming apartment is tucked into a beautiful 150-year-old home in Grand Rapids' Highland Park neighborhood, just minutes from downtown, restaurants, shopping, and everyday essentials. Located at the rear of the wooded property, the apartment offers a quiet setting without neighbors walking above or below you. Private front and rear entrances give the space the feel of a small home rather than a typical apartment. The efficient 629-square-foot layout includes the convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer, so laundry day never means hauling baskets to a shared basement or laundromat. Landlord couple lives in the front unit and are readily available if needed, while fully respecting your privacy. Across the street, a school district administrative campus provides open green space and a surprisingly park-like setting outside of limited school bus traffic hours. Enjoy watching the occasional deer and other wildlife strolling across its park-like setting. The entire campus is regularly monitored by private security, contributing to a sense of safety and stability. If you're looking for a comfortable, character-filled home close to downtown with privacy, convenience, and historic charm, this apartment deserves a look!
