Duntons Sub.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $354K·Walkability 8.2/10·Schools 4.2/10
You'll feel it the moment you turn onto the tree-lined streets—three acres of vintage homes tucked into Eastown, where you're walking distance from over 280 restaurants and can grab coffee or groceries in about the time it takes to lock your door. Homes here run around $354K, and what you're really buying is proximity: six minutes to downtown Grand Rapids, a transit stop two minutes away on foot, and Wilcox Park just a short walk if you need green space or a splash pad for the kids. The neighborhood itself is alive—Yesterday is a legendary late-night spot that's been drawing crowds since 1976, Wolfgang's serves breakfast out of a historic trolley barn, and the Eastown Street Fair draws the whole city. You're in walking range of bars, galleries, and enough local spots that you'll actually recognize faces. It's the kind of place where the grid works for you, not against you.
