Hampshire Park
Great schools with outdoor access
Median $695K·Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 8.8/10
What catches most people off guard about Hampshire Park is how close it sits to everything—a 13-minute drive to downtown Grand Rapids, a transit stop practically at your doorstep, yet the 20-acre subdivision itself feels composed and measured, with lots averaging a third of an acre. Homes here run around $825K, and they're zoned for East Grand Rapids Public Schools. A grocery is a four-minute walk away, and you'll find a coffee shop within nine minutes on foot; there are eighteen restaurants within a mile if you're not cooking. The nearest significant water is Reeds Lake, just over a mile down the road, and Cambridge Park sits roughly the same distance away. What really defines this place is the access—you're inside The Meyering Land Co. Lake Drive Estates Sub. Area, where the bones of mid-century suburban planning are still visible in the layout, and nothing here requires you to choose between proximity and breathing room.
