Moving to Grand Rapids? Here's Why Heritage Hill Belongs on Your Apartment Search

Moving to a new city comes with a lot of decisions.

Where will you work?

How long will your commute be?

Where will you shop?

Which neighborhoods fit your lifestyle?

And, of course, where are you going to live?

If you're moving to Grand Rapids and aren't familiar with the city yet, Heritage Hill deserves a place on your apartment search.

And Heritage Place gives you an opportunity to experience the neighborhood with the modern conveniences you want in your next home.

Get to Know Heritage Hill

Heritage Hill is Grand Rapids' oldest historic district and contains approximately 1,300 structures representing nearly every major American architectural style from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The neighborhood developed alongside the growth of Grand Rapids and once became home to many of the industrial leaders, merchants, doctors and business owners involved in the city's early expansion.

Today, those historic streets give Heritage Hill an identity that stands apart from newer neighborhoods and suburban developments.

For someone moving to Grand Rapids, that means your first neighborhood in the city can offer a genuine sense of place.

Stay Close to Several Parts of the City

One of the challenges of moving somewhere new is figuring out how different areas connect.

Heritage Place can make that adjustment easier because it is positioned near several major Grand Rapids destinations.

The community is approximately:

• One mile from the Medical Mile

• One mile from Grand Rapids Community College

• One mile from Rosa Parks Circle and downtown

• About 1.5 miles from Eastown

Heritage Place is also located along the Fulton bus line.

That central location gives newcomers a convenient starting point for exploring the city.

Choose the Space That Fits Your Move

Moving to Grand Rapids might mean starting a new job.

Beginning school.

Relocating with a partner.

Living alone for the first time.

Downsizing.

Or simply starting a new chapter.

Heritage Place offers studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments so you can choose a floor plan based on what you actually need.

Current layouts include a 431-square-foot studio, a 591-square-foot one-bedroom apartment and a 1,066-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath apartment.

That variety can make it easier to find a home that fits your stage of life rather than forcing your lifestyle into one standard apartment layout.

Make Moving Day the Beginning, Not the Finish Line

Once the boxes are unpacked, you'll want to start enjoying your new city.

Heritage Place gives residents amenities to enjoy at home, including a fitness studio, swimming pool and social patio, clubroom and bike storage.

Inside your apartment, features like in-home laundry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, walk-in storage and 10-foot ceilings make settling in a little easier.

And because downtown, Heritage Hill, the Medical Mile and surrounding neighborhoods are nearby, you'll have plenty to explore outside the community too.

Pet-Friendly Living in Grand Rapids

Moving with a pet adds another item to the apartment-search checklist.

Heritage Place welcomes cats and dogs, with up to two pets permitted per apartment home, subject to the community's current pet policies, weight limits and breed restrictions.

For pet owners relocating to Grand Rapids, being able to bring your companion with you can make a new city feel like home much faster.

Start Your Grand Rapids Chapter Somewhere With Character

Your first home in a new city helps shape your experience there.

You could choose an apartment based solely on price and square footage.

Or you can consider what surrounds it.

At Heritage Place, residents get modern apartment living inside one of Grand Rapids' most established neighborhoods, with convenient access to the city's downtown, healthcare district, colleges and surrounding communities.

If you're moving to Grand Rapids and searching for an apartment that helps you feel connected to the city from day one, Heritage Place is worth getting to know.
