Hoolsema -Dummering Add.
Walkable with great nature access
Median $240K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 3.3/10
What surprises people about Hoolsema-Dummering Add. is how much urban infrastructure fits into 12 acres—a transit stop steps away, nearly 50 restaurants within a mile, and a grocery within a reasonable walk, all in a subdivision where lots average just 0.16 acres. Homes here run around $244K, and you're close enough to downtown Grand Rapids that a drive takes under nine minutes. The real draw is proximity to Garfield Park, where Plaster Creek sits a five-minute walk away and the neighborhood's parks, taquerias, and community spaces define the day-to-day rhythm far more than any strip of chain anything.
