Heatherwood Hills Extension
Convenient location
Walkability 5.6/10·Schools 4.5/10
Driving through Heatherwood Hills Extension, you're in the thick of the 7 Mile Rd Area's busy side—ten minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, surrounded by 168 restaurants and 36 grocery stores within a mile or so, which means you're never far from a meal or a errand. The nearest park is a seven-minute walk, and a grocery store will take you six minutes on foot; a coffee shop lands at a mile and a half, so you're trading walkability for access to serious density. The subdivision itself spans just one acre, a compact wedge in a commercial-dense pocket, with Walker Charter Academy serving the schools here. If you launch a boat, Comstock Riverside Park is 2.6 miles south. The trade-off is real: you're buying proximity and convenience, not space or quiet, and you're paying accordingly—homes here run in the mid-to-high range for the area.
