Grand Rapids, Michigan

This is the city that started out as a small fur trading town in what is known as the Grand River Valley, and became important in America's automobile industry. It is primarily known, however, as the furniture capital of the U.S. and it still hold on to that distinction as a major manufacturer of office furniture.

Today, it has expanded its resources to include many health care companies as well as being a center for Christian publishing. One will find many traces of the many Dutch and French immigrants who migrated to Grand Rapids. They've left their marks in the neighborhoods and on the city's look.

City Quadrants

The city is essentially divided into four quadrants, and when looking for your Grand Rapids apartment you will want to keep this in mind. It is primarily a car town although the bus system is more than adequate. Many people are opting to live in the renewed downtown area.

There are conversions and new builds that offer everything including many green features. Heritage Hill is a very old area with a lot of charm. It's in the Southeast portion of the city and is one of the largest urban historic districts in the country. Outside of downtown, you will find newer complexes offering amenities such as garaged parking, pools and more.

Summer Art

There are any number of summer arts events that revolve around The Van Andel Museum and Vandenberg Plaza. The city has a very lively arts and theater scene. Also of interest to both the tourist and the resident is the Gerald Ford Museum. Although he was America's accidental President because he was appointed not elected, he is both an interesting and beloved native. The music scene remains alive and well, producing many well known groups in both country and rock.

Yesterdog Dogs

Once in your Grand Rapids apartment, you'll definitely want to seek out nearby restaurants. Yesterdog is the city's favorite quirky quick food place. It's full of memorabilia and great hot dogs too.

Bistro Bella Vita is a fantastic Mediterranean find, and is beloved by most everyone in Western Michigan. Also checkout the Bull's Head downtown and Leo's Seafood as both are local favorites.

Nighttime Martinis

Nightlife ranges from live music venues to the classic neighborhood pub. You'll definitely want to try out Moxie's and the Crush clubs. Get great martinis at Bar Divan or mix in with the college crowd at Gardella's.  Your Grand Rapids apartment is just the start of an exciting life in this Midwestern city.
