Berghages Sub. No. 1
Walkable and connected
Median $285K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.6/10
So you're looking at a tight three-acre pocket in Highland Park where homes run around $392K on quarter-acre lots—the kind of setup where you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids to grab coffee in seven minutes but far enough out that you've actually got some land to work with. The subdivision sits in the heart of a neighborhood that's got real character: Eastern Park is a five-minute walk away, and there are nearly 170 restaurants within a mile, from casual spots to anything you'd actually want to drive to. Transit access is solid—a five-minute walk to the nearest stop—and if you need to get downtown, you're looking at seven minutes by car. Schools fall under Grand Rapids Public Schools, and the proximity to dining and errands means you're rarely more than a quick walk from what you need, even though the overall vibe skews toward driving for most things. It's not flashy, but it's genuinely functional: close enough to everything that matters, far enough to breathe.

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