In order to appreciate downtown, you have to know downtown.  There are 5 major corridors to the downtown area: Central, Heartside, West Fulton, Heritage Hill, and Midtown.

Central cooridor is where all the action happens. DeVos Performance Hall, City Headquarters and tons of local shops and boutiques can be found here, giving you endless options to entertain yourself, friends and family.  This is the prime location for living!  You are steps away from where everyone wants to be.  The Grand River also runs through dividing central downtown from the other sections.

Heartside is where the original Grand Rapids started.  Here you will find historic buildings with outstanding handcrafted detail and if you’re lucky, the person who did it!  This part of town carries major art galleries, trendy restaurants, St. Mary’s Healthcare and is quickly becoming a hot destination spot for locals and tourists alike. Also in Heartside is the infamous Van Andel Arena where the Grand Rapids Griffin’s hockey team plays and major acts come to perform such as Elton John, Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood and more.

West Fulton is best known for its nature elements at the John Ball Park Zoo.  The Zoo is a large attraction with its exotic animals and fun events.  This is also a large residential community with families, students and long-time residents all in the same location.  West Fulton also bridges downtown to the start of NW Grand Rapids and is a desirable location for those who are looking to live downtown in a quiet neighborhood.

Heritage Hill is one of the oldest parts of Grand Rapid’s downtown area and also one of the most beautiful.  Here you can easily get lost in the beauty and splendor of the hundreds of well-restored mansions.  Large, breath-taking homes are just part of the charm of this neighborhood.  Quaint coffee and sandwich shops are easy to find here, and the walk ability is a large attraction for Heritage Hill residents. Walking your dog, meeting with up friends or taking a run is common practice here.

Midtown is a fast-growing community and is very popular with the medical field.  Home to brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities, Midtown is graced with the new name of ‘Medical Mile’ due to its cluster of world-renowned hospitals and medical offices.  Spectrum Hospitals is responsible for this growth and has recently opened or renovated new facilities such as the Helen Devos Children’s Hospital, Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion, Meijer Heart Center and Butterworth Hospital.  Michigan State Secchia Center has also opened on Medical Mile in addition to Grand Valley State University’s Cook-Devos Center for Health Sciences to help students get a better grasp on medical sciences.

There is an equilibrium with exposure and success.  If someone doesn’t hear about a product, how are they supposed to know that it even exists?  ArtPrize is helping Grand Rapids in more ways than current residence could possibly imagine.

Not only are we becoming the cultural hub for West and Mid Michigan, we are reaching out to the entire world in hopes to pull attention into the city, and letting the globe know that we are a thriving municipality.  ArtPrize brings a lot of attention to what we have to offer, opening venues from simple mom and pop restaurants to huge commercially known venues like the DeVos Performance hall.  But what does that mean for you, how could it help you sell your home?

Buyers hate thinking that their investments will be void or come up a loss in the years to come, and since Grand Rapids is hosting such great events, it’s unlikely that someone who actually visits the city will see a dilapidated area, and will notice what we have to offer.  We have great and affordable downtown condos that we offer for those who strive to be in the thriving culture that Grand Rapids has to offer.  Local theaters, restaurants, museums and night life offer those who look for adventure a taste of something new.

ArtPrize brings attention to one of the most cultural rich cities in the midwest.  We are proud of our art community, our local artists and their talents.  We are participating with Chicago and New York as a gateway for creativity and artistic residence.  ArtPrize helps local artist get world wide exposure, helps teach them to be a keystone in passing the artistic arch to those who are not familiar with terminology or artistic foundations.

ArtPrize helps spark the creative lines for the younger generations that never realized that this form of culture existed, and inspire them to become something more than even what they thought possible.  If you think back to one of your careers inspirational moments, you probably have a fond memory of the location, the atmosphere and the people that made it happen.  Imagine reaching that audience young, and impressing on them how great our city is.  We are influencing future residence of the city in mass proportions.

ArtPrize helps Grand Rapids Real Estate because it encourages growth, it motivates thought and shows that through an enriched diverse demographic, our city is a success both in enriching lives and for growing careers, families and culture.
