Eastwood Plat

If you're heading to Eastwood Plat, the first thing you'll notice is how close everything actually is—you're basically in the heart of Fulton Heights, where downtown Grand Rapids is just under eight minutes away but the neighborhood still feels like its own thing. The plat itself is nine acres of modest, tree-lined streets with quarter-acre lots that date back to the early 1900s, and the homes here—Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods, and bungalows—still have that solid brick-and-character feel. You're a short walk from Hillcrest Park, and with over 180 restaurants within a mile, a grocery store about nine minutes on foot, and the Fulton Street Market (been running from the same spot for more than a century) practically around the corner, the whole neighborhood is woven together in a way that actually works.
