Hawes Sub.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $277K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 3.8/10
Wealthy Street runs just north of here, a brick-lined stretch of local restaurants and shops that anchors the whole feel of the area—and Hawes Sub. sits deep enough into Baxter to stay residential while staying close to that energy. The subdivision spans 3 acres with tight lots (averaging 0.12 acres), so you're looking at compact homes in the $233K range, built at a time when walkable blocks and front porches still made sense. Downtown Grand Rapids is about 6.7 minutes away, and Martin Luther King Jr. Park is a 5-minute walk if you want green space without leaving the neighborhood. Restaurants within a mile number in the high hundreds, grocery and coffee are both a 9-minute walk, and transit access is right here—which means you can skip the car for a lot of daily life. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and there are 13 parks within walking distance when you need them.
