Median $403K·Walkability 6.0/10·Schools 4.5/10
A quick drive drops you downtown in seven minutes, but G. Van Ess Sub. itself feels removed from the rush—a tight cluster of modest lots averaging a third of an acre on Highland Park's eastern edge. Homes run around $403K, which buys you access to over 160 restaurants within a mile, a transit stop five minutes on foot, and the kind of density that means a coffee shop isn't some distant errand but happens to exist nearby. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. The real anchor, though, is what you won't find advertised: Eastern Park is a four-minute walk away, and there are ten parks within a mile—the kind of thing that matters more when you're living on 0.35 acres and your neighbors are close enough to actually see.
