F. E. Browns Add.

Lined with mature trees that turn brilliant gold and crimson each fall, F. E. Browns Add. sits in the heart of Shawmut Hills, where lots average just over half an acre—enough breathing room without feeling isolated from the city. The subdivision's 15 acres hold a mix of ranch and cape cod homes, most built in the 1950s and 60s, with median values around $377K. You're close enough to walk to one of 18 restaurants within a mile, grab groceries at any of two dozen stores nearby, or catch a bus steps from your front door. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 12 minutes away, and Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. The real gem, though, is what's just outside your door: Blandford Nature Center sits less than a mile away, and the winding neighborhood streets themselves are built for walking or jogging through tree-lined blocks where you'll actually want to spend time outside.
