Fairview Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $293K·Walkability 6.7/10·Schools 4.6/10
Fairview Add. sits within Shawmut Hills, an 18-acre subdivision where ranch and Cape Cod homes from the 1950s and '60s cluster on modest lots—expect 0.27 acres on average, not sprawling estates—though tree-lined streets and rolling terrain still manage to feel suburban despite sitting in the northwest corner of Grand Rapids. Homes here run around $275K, which buys you walkable access to dozens of restaurants and grocery options within a mile, plus transit stops steps away and a surprising five parks nearby, including Brian Dyk Nature Preserve. Downtown is a straightforward 8.7-minute drive, and Gerald R. Ford Airport sits 25.7 minutes out, making the logistics genuinely workable. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and the subdivision's compact footprint trades privacy for the kind of convenience most people move to the suburbs hoping to leave behind.
