Boyton and Lake Judds Addition
Walkable with great nature access
Walkability 7.5/10·Schools 8.8/10
On a late afternoon when the sun hits the brick just right, this little addition shows off what drew people here in the first place — a walkable pocket tucked into the Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, where errands and dining are genuinely within reach on foot, and a transit stop lands just two minutes away. You've got ninety restaurants within a mile and a grocery within a three-minute walk, which means weeknight dinner isn't a production. East Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and downtown Grand Rapids sits just over ten minutes away by car when you need it. The real anchor, though, is what's right there: John Collins Park sits adjacent, and Reeds Lake — actual open water — is barely half a mile off, which is the kind of detail that makes a one-acre addition feel less like a subdivision lot and more like landing in the middle of something.
