The complex offers two-bedroom apartments with rooms starting at just $649 per month, and four-bedroom apartments with rooms ranging from $445 to $610 per month. Heat, electric, water, sewer, trash, air conditioning and internet are all generously included in that price.

Only walking distance from tons of downtown Grand Rapids attractions—including the Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids Art Museum and Grand Rapids Civic Theatre—The Lofts at 5 Lyon is the perfect place to live if you never want to be bored. You’ll never go hungry, either, with places like HopCat, Buffalo Wild Wings and The B.O.B. situated half a mile (or less) away.
