Settled by Dutch, German, Irish and Polish immigrants over 150 years ago, the northeast side retains many of the values its founders prized, including a strong work ethic and a committment to being neighborly. With the Grand River running through it, it hosts some of the city's largest parks and longest bike trails. The northeast side also contains the booming Medical Mile life sciences corridor, historic schools and residential districts, modern offices, and thriving urban loft spaces with unique entertainment options. It includes several strong neighborhood associations, including Belknap, Monroe North, and Creston-Cheshire.
