Houseman'S Sub.
Strong schools draw families here
Median $205K·Walkability 6.4/10·Schools 3.7/10
The moment you turn onto the block, you feel the density—four acres of modest homes sitting close enough that you could practically hand something to your neighbor through the window. It's the kind of subdivision where the streetscape matters more than square footage, where being minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and surrounded by 114 restaurants within a mile means the real living happens outside your front door. Most homes here run around $205K, and the school district is Grand Rapids Public Schools. Paul I Phillips Recreation Center is a short walk away, and you've got fourteen parks within a mile if you want options. The nearest transit stop is practically at your doorstep, which changes the math on commuting—Gerald R. Ford Airport is about 24 minutes if you need it, but the everyday rhythm here is local: coffee shops within a 12-minute walk, groceries less than a mile out, restaurants everywhere. It's dense, walkable, and thoroughly woven into the fabric of Southeast Grand Rapids.
