Historic warehouses, brick-paved streets, and sidewalk cafes adorn Downtown Grand Rapids, the dynamic heart of the city. Downtown Grand Rapids, stretched along the Grand River and extending east to Lafayette Avenue, is home to several notable locations like the Grand Rapids Art Museum, the Grand Rapids Children's Museum, and Van Andel Arena. Directly across the river sits the Grand Valley State University: Pew Campus, the Grand Rapids Public Museum, and the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum.
The pedestrian-friendly downtown district is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, theaters, museums, and entertainment venues -- so much so that once you rent your Downtown Grand Rapids apartment, you may rarely leave the area. But when you do, bus stops are available throughout the area.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
