Welcome to Belknap Lookout.
Our neighborhood blends traditional architecture and new construction. We are located just outside the heart of downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan.
About the Neighborhood
The Belknap Lookout neighborhood is bordered by Leonard and Michigan Streets at the north and south. Our east and west boundaries are College Avenue and the Grand River. Both the residential neighborhood east of Division and the formerly industrial Monroe North business areas are conveniently located. It’s just a short walk, drive, bike ride or bus trip from nearby Michigan Street’s bustling nightlife, the Grand Rapids Medical Mile, and downtown dining and attractions.
