Hornberger Add.
Walkable near top schools
Median $273K·Walkability 7.1/10·Schools 4.2/10
Hornberger Add. sits in the heart of Midtown, where Michigan Street runs thick with locally loved restaurants, bars, and coffee spots—the kind of block where you can walk to dinner without thinking twice. It's a small subdivision of about an acre, with lots averaging 0.14 acres and homes clustered tight, median value around $300K. The walkability is legit: groceries and restaurants within a three-minute walk, a coffee shop five minutes out, and Eastern Park just seven minutes on foot if you need green space (there are thirteen parks within a mile if you're counting). Downtown Grand Rapids is barely five minutes away by car, and you're close enough to the Medical Mile and all those community institutions without feeling hemmed in by them. The Grand Rapids Public Schools district covers the area, transit is a three-minute walk, and if you've got a dog, a proper dog park is only twelve minutes down the road.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
