You'll know you've arrived the moment the red brick pavement catches your eye—Calkins Sub. sits right in the heart of East Hills, where century-old brick homes line streets that feel both established and actively alive. This 4-acre platted subdivision is small and walkable, with lot sizes averaging just 0.14 acres, which means you're living close to the action, not removed from it. Coffee shops and restaurants are literally steps away, and Cherry Hill Green sits adjacent, offering green space without leaving the neighborhood. Homes here run around $341K, and you're just 4 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, which makes the urban-suburban balance feel effortless rather than compromised. The real draw, though, is what surrounds you: 397 restaurants within a mile, 24 parks nearby, and a transit stop within walking distance, so you can ditch the car without feeling stranded—all while living in a subdivision that still feels like an actual neighborhood, not a development.
