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. You'll find several parks downtown, including Rosa Parks Circle, which is popular for ice skating and outdoor concerts; Heartside Park, which has a playground, a walking path, and benches; and the Veterans Memorial, a green space in the center of downtown that features a reflecting pond and statues.
