Walkable near top schools
Median $515K·Walkability 7.7/10·Schools 4.0/10
Lot sizes here run tight—just over a tenth of an acre on average—which means the 7-acre footprint is carved into a dense cluster of modest urban parcels rather than sprawling country lots. You're in East Hills, where the whole point is proximity: restaurants sit steps away, a transit stop is basically at your door, and Congress Park is a three-minute walk if you need green space. The dining scene within a mile tops 385 places—Cherry Street and Wealthy Street handle most of the traffic—while grocery options abound within two miles. Downtown Grand Rapids is four and a half minutes off, making this a genuine in-town address without feeling hemmed in; the walkability score of 7.6 reflects an area that handles errands and getting around on foot reasonably well, with transit access rated nearly perfect. Schools fall under Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the whole neighborhood carries the feel of late-19th-century bone structure overlaid with contemporary restaurant culture and brick-paved streets.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
