Located on the flatlands of the lower West Side, the Stockbridge district is located immediately west of the Grand River and Center City.

The area is known for its working-class attitude, rich European traditions and, above all, resilience. The construction of the US 131 highway and Interstate 196 in the 1960’s destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses in the area. It also scarred the heart and soul of a community.

But today the Stockbridge district is emerging as a much stronger and vibrant place than it was before the bulldozers. With a growing selection of pubs, restaurants, and locally-owned specialty shops, as well as aggressive investment in unique urban housing ventures, the Stockbridge area now stands on the leading edge of Grand Rapids’ evolution into a thriving 21st century city.
