Henry Smith Farm Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $338K·Walkability 6.9/10·Schools 4.6/10
Tucked into Shawmut Hills, a residential pocket of northwest Grand Rapids, Henry Smith Farm Add. sits on three acres of mature trees and winding streets where lots average a quarter acre each—enough breathing room without feeling remote. Downtown is a quick six-minute drive away, and the neighborhood has the kind of walkable spine that matters: a coffee shop and restaurants within ten minutes on foot, a transit stop just two minutes down the block, a dozen parks within a mile. Schools feed into Grand Rapids Public Schools, and if you've got a dog, Covell Park and a dedicated dog park are both within a leisurely walk. Homes here run around $338K and range from 1,200 to 3,000 square feet, mostly 1950s and '60s ranches and Colonials on the kinds of blocks where neighbors actually see each other—not because they're forced to, but because the design of the place makes it natural.
