Ivy - Heights
Walkable near top schools
Median $310K·Walkability 7.0/10·Schools 5.7/10
Plainfield Avenue runs straight through this seven-acre subdivision like the spine of something deliberate, and from here downtown Grand Rapids is just over twelve minutes by car—close enough that you're not commuting, far enough that you're not living in the thick of it. Homes run around $310K on quarter-acre lots, which means the whole place feels assembled rather than sprawling. A grocery store is a seven-minute walk, a coffee shop five minutes, and there are 132 restaurants within a mile, which sounds absurd until you realize most are actually good; dining scores an 8 out of 10 here, so you're not eating chain food out of desperation. Northview Public Schools serves the area, with plenty of green space nearby for outdoor activities.
