Quiet lots near top schools
Median $940K·Walkability 3.3/10·Schools 8.8/10
The plat here is just 23 acres, but it's ringed by eight parks within a mile—which matters when your lot averages less than half an acre. Griffiths Park sits a two-minute walk away, and Reeds Lake is practically next door at just a tenth of a mile. The subdivision lives under East Grand Rapids Public Schools, part of the larger Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, and homes here hover around $928K. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 10 minutes by car, which keeps you close enough to restaurants (78 within a mile) and grocery options (24 within two miles) without living in the thick of it. A coffee run is roughly 15 minutes on foot; the nearest grocery is a 15-minute walk as well. It's the kind of place where you get genuine proximity to water and green space without sacrificing walkable access to the things you need.
