Walkable near top schools
Median $330K·Walkability 8.2/10·Schools 4.1/10
Late afternoon light hitting the red brick facades along Cherry Street makes this stretch glow—the neighborhood's real magic hour, when the historic homes and tree-lined blocks feel genuinely alive. You're in the heart of the East Hills, where a 10-acre pocket sits within arm's reach of everything: restaurants and coffee shops literally steps away, a transit stop equally close, and a grocery store a three-minute walk. The dining scene here is practically unmatched—325 restaurants within a mile speaks for itself—and the walkability scores reflect what you'll feel on the ground, especially around dining and transit. Downtown Grand Rapids is just 4.6 minutes away, while Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area. Lot sizes average 0.12 acres in a neighborhood where 19 parks sit within a mile, including Hosken Park just two minutes on foot, so the feeling is urban-suburban—old brick character houses with genuine neighborhood density, not sprawl. A dog park awaits a 14-minute walk, and Gerald R. Ford Airport sits 21.7 minutes out if you need it.
