Heatherwood Hills

Those wide, manicured lots—each one a third of an acre—are what Heatherwood Hills leans into, and for a subdivision of just nine acres, the breathing room feels almost generous. Homes here run around $310K, which lands you close enough to downtown Grand Rapids to make the 10.5-minute drive feel less like a commute and more like a choice. The real convenience lives in the immediate radius: a grocery store is a six-minute walk, restaurants cluster within a mile (168 of them, if you're counting), and a transit stop sits four minutes on foot. There's an unnamed park within a six-minute walk for when the lot itself isn't enough, and two more parks dot the mile around you. If you've got a boat, Comstock Riverside Park Launch is 2.6 miles out. Walker Charter Academy serves the schools here, and you're sitting in the 7 Mile Rd Area, a location that lets you have land without sacrificing proximity to actual things.
