Walkable and connected

Burton-Kalamazoo Heights sits within Alger Heights, a one-square-mile neighborhood in Grand Rapids where compact lots and modest homes built in the 1920s through 1950s define the streetscape. The subdivision itself spans just an acre with average lots around 0.12 acres—tight quarters that keep everything close together. Downtown is about 12 minutes by car, and Gerald R. Ford Airport sits roughly 17 minutes out. The nearest transit stop is a 2-minute walk, which matters since the bus network here ranks stronger than local walkability to shops; groceries and restaurants hover around a 13-minute walk away, though 18 restaurants and 36 grocery stores exist within a mile or two. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. Homes here run around $248K, and Ottawa Hills Park is a quick 6-minute walk if you need green space—one of ten parks within a mile of this tight, central slice of the neighborhood.
