Broughs Sub.
Walkable and connected
Median $304K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 4.0/10
You're about a three-minute walk from a coffee shop, closer still to restaurants—and if you need to be downtown, you're there in four minutes flat. Broughs Sub. is a 2-acre platted subdivision where the lots run tight (0.13 acres on average) and the location is what you're really buying. Homes here run around $304K. The Grand Rapids Public Schools district covers the area, and you're situated in Seeds of Promise, a neighborhood in Southeast Grand Rapids where actual things happen—there are 283 restaurants within a mile, a transit stop three minutes away on foot, and Heritage Hill Park just two minutes down the block if you need trees. The Grand Rapids airport is a 23-minute drive, which beats a lot of suburbs. It's the kind of tight, walkable urban footprint where you can live without treating your car like a second home—though you might end up driving anyway just because everything else is so close.
