A PIECE OF HEARTSIDE HISTORY

Chaffee Apartments sits along South Division Avenue in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids’ historic Heartside neighborhood and Avenue for the Arts district. Its distinctive glazed-brick façade makes it a contributing building within the Heartside Historic District, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.

The building is part of a corridor shaped by creativity, small businesses, and longtime neighbors. In 2006, a former commercial space within Chaffee was transformed into the Avenue for the Arts’ first market-rate live/work apartment—an early moment in the district’s evolution.

Today, Dwelling Place preserves Chaffee as eight affordable one-bedroom homes, carrying its historic character forward while providing a place to live in one of downtown’s most connected neighborhoods.
