    Affordable Living in the Heart of Downtown Grand Rapids

    Boardwalk Condos

    Originally constructed as a furniture factory in 1892, the Boardwalk Condo building holds a rich history that dates back to the early days of industrial Grand Rapids. When electricity was first introduced, the building underwent significant updates, adding new elements that would help the factory run more efficiently. However, after operating for many years, the building closed in 1954, leaving the once-bustling facility vacant.

    In 2001, the building received a $35 million renovation, transforming it into the vibrant and popular Boardwalk Condominiums we know today. Major updates to the property included a full overhaul of the windows, plumbing, and heating/cooling systems, which provided modern amenities while maintaining the building's historic character. The result is a perfect blend of classic architecture and contemporary urban living, making it a sought-after residence for those looking to live in downtown Grand Rapids.

    Unique Amenities

    Boardwalk Condominiums stand out in Grand Rapids for offering a variety of amenities that cannot be found in many other downtown condos. Upon entering the main floor of the building, you’ll find J.D. Reardon's Bar and Grill, a coffee shop, and a hair salon—everything you need to make life more convenient. For residents without in-unit laundry, there is a laundromat on the main floor, as well as a game room and theater room to enjoy during your downtime.

    Parking in downtown Grand Rapids can be tricky, but Boardwalk Condos have residents covered with off-street parking (often free!) and available covered parking spaces. For guests, there are also additional uncovered parking options.

    Relaxation and Scenic Views

    One of the most attractive features of Boardwalk Condominiums is the common rooftop deck, which provides breathtaking views of the city skyline. Situated on the northwest side of the city, the deck offers some of the best sunsets in Grand Rapids. The outdoor pool and jacuzzi are additional amenities that let residents enjoy the great outdoors and the gorgeous Michigan weather. Some of the condos even have attached balconies that overlook the center courtyard and pool area.

    Nearby Attractions and Amenities

    In addition to the amenities inside the building, Boardwalk Condominiums are perfectly located near some fantastic attractions. Right across the street is Canal Park, a 4.5-acre green space next to the Grand River. This scenic park offers paved walking and running trails, picnic tables, and stunning views of the river, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or outdoor activities.

    For those who enjoy exploring the vibrant dining scene, there are several restaurants within walking distance of the building. Grand Rapids Garage Bar & Grill, located nearby, offers American cuisine paired with craft beers. A few blocks away, Rocky’s Bar and Grill is a favorite spot for great food and live music. On weekends, the restaurant features DJs spinning the latest hits for everyone to dance to.

    For a more unique experience, SpeakEZ Lounge—a prohibition-themed restaurant—is worth the short walk. Known for its creative menu and delicious cocktails, SpeakEZ Lounge hosts live bands and other events, making it a fun destination for foodies and music lovers alike.
