Berkeys Add.
Walkable near top schools
Median $388K·Walkability 7.0/10·Schools 3.9/10
Just three and a half minutes to downtown—Berkeys Add. sits right in the heart of East Hills, a 4-acre platted subdivision where 19th-century brick homes and tree-lined streets meet serious walkability. You're steps from transit, a two-minute walk from dinner (and there are 481 restaurants within a mile if you're indecisive), and Cherry Park is literally adjacent for a quick playground run or a dip in the seasonal wading pool. Homes here hover around $388K, and the neighborhood's dining scene is genuinely excellent—that 9/10 walkability score for restaurants isn't hypothetical. The lots are compact at about 0.12 acres each, which keeps things tight and human-scaled, and you're nestled in a part of the city where the Medical Mile, breweries, and galleries are all within striking distance. Attend Grand Rapids Public Schools, and if you need to hit Gerald R. Ford Airport, it's about 22 minutes east.
