Cherry Run, located between Cherry Street SE and Wealthy Street SE, is a residential and walkable Grand Rapids neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a small-scale commercial edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cherry St SE & Diamond Ave SE crossroads, where corner storefronts, patios, and bike traffic set an everyday rhythm. Housing reads as early-20th-century, with compact lots, front porches, and a mix of restored details and modern updates. Brewery Vivant and The Green Well anchor the local dining-and-drinks scene with a distinctly neighborhood feel. Nearby, the Wealthy Theatre adds an artsy pulse that carries into evenings. Sidewalks and pocket greenspaces keep the pace grounded between errands and nights out.
