You can move through Eastern Heights on foot or by car with equal ease—a 74-acre subdivision where the nearest transit stop is literally steps away, Burgis Park is a three-minute walk, and you've got four parks within a mile to choose from. Homes run around $288K, which buys you access to plenty: a dozen restaurants and a grocery within a short walk, another 66 dining options and 60 grocers within a mile or two, and downtown Grand Rapids just 13 minutes away by car. The subdivision feeds into Kentwood Public Schools, and the whole area sits within the larger Summer Woods Area. It's the kind of place where you're not trading proximity for space—you get both, minus the pretense.
