Harley Pierces Sub.
Urban energy, solid value
Median $313K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.4/10
The street grid here is tight and efficiently laid out across eight acres, with modest lots averaging less than a fifth of an acre—the kind of density that keeps you close to neighbors without feeling cramped. Harley Pierces Sub. sits squarely in Highland Park, where downtown Grand Rapids is less than six minutes away by car, and a grocery store or coffee shop is a short walk off. The subdivision feeds into Lighthouse Academy for schools. Homes run around $240K, and the walkability math is honest: you can hit errands and restaurants on foot, though you'll rely on your car for some trips—which is fine when the Gerald R. Ford airport is under twenty minutes out. Transit access is immediate, parks abound within a mile, and Eastern Park is an eight-minute walk if you need green space. It's the kind of place that doesn't pretend to be more than it is, which is exactly its charm.
