Andersen & Wandels Sub.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $351K·Walkability 7.5/10·Schools 4.1/10
This stretch of Eastown sits on some of the most walkable ground in Grand Rapids—the kind of place where you're steps from transit, a four-minute walk from coffee or dinner, and roughly six minutes to downtown. The subdivision itself is compact, about 3 acres with modest lots, but that density is the whole point: you're woven into a neighborhood where over 240 restaurants and cafes operate within a mile, where Grand Rapids Public Schools serve the area, and where the business district—with everything from Yesterdog to Wolfgang's to local galleries—feels genuinely close. Sigsbee Park is a three-minute walk for the playground or a quick lap. Transit scores a perfect 10 here, which means you're genuinely choosing to drive downtown in under seven minutes rather than needing to. It's not a sprawling subdivision; it's a piece of something established and lively.
