Part of a Connected Heartside Community

Commerce Courtyard Apartments is located at 300 Commerce Avenue SE in downtown Grand Rapids’ historic Heartside neighborhood. The community includes 67 one-bedroom apartments and sits near the historic Herkimer Apartments, within a corridor shaped by longtime residents, local businesses, public art, and ongoing reinvestment.

The property reflects Heartside’s creative spirit, too. In 2013, young artists from UICA’s ArtWorks program helped design courtyard planters and custom tilework for the shared Herkimer and Commerce apartment spaces.

Today, Dwelling Place stewards Commerce Courtyard as a referral-based affordable housing community, helping ensure that people with the greatest housing needs can live in a connected downtown neighborhood.
