Eastgate

The Eastgate neighborhood has this wonderful ability to make you feel like you've discovered something special without having to travel far to find it. Just one street over from East Grand Rapids, you get that same tree-lined, established neighborhood feel but with more breathing room and character that comes from homes with real stories. The subdivisions here — Eastgate (Subdivision), Plymouth Terrace, and Kreiser Add among others — are full of brick ranches and colonials where every house seems to have that one detail that makes it stand out: a screened porch that gets used every summer evening, a finished basement that becomes the neighborhood hangout, or hardwood floors that have been lovingly refinished more than once.
