Franklin East Townhomes
Walkable and connected
Median $233K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.1/10
The townhomes here sit on modest quarter-acre lots with attached garages—the kind of tight, efficient layout that keeps everything close and walkable without feeling cramped. You're in Seeds of Promise, a neighborhood where downtown Grand Rapids is just four minutes away by car, but you can also walk to a restaurant in eight minutes or grab coffee in ten. Paul I Phillips Recreation Center is a short four-minute walk, and there are sixteen parks within a mile, so green space isn't something you're hunting for.
