The Garden Tour happens rain or shine!

1. Price-starting as low as $49,900 for “unfinished” units to $79,900 for the finished, upgraded units.
2. Proximity-Avenue 23 is nestled into the quiet neighborhood area of Heritage Hill but is just a quick five minute walk to downtown Grand Rapids and all it has to offer including the Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids Art Museum, Rosa Parks Circle and plenty of restaurants and bars.
3. Privacy- rather than live in a multi-unit building, at Avenue 23 Condominiums offers seperated common entrances, with each unit having its own deck or patio. Plus being in the middle of Heritage Hill, it’s not right next to I-196 or 131.
4. Parking- never worry about parking at Avenue 23-owners have their own reserved parking space.
5. Perks- purchasing an Avenue 23 condo includes many incentives such as closing cost assistance, free upgrades, flat screen TV and more!
