Late afternoon light catches the red brick streets here, turning them the color of old fire trucks. James Fitch Add. is a two-acre pocket of East Hills where homes cluster on quarter-acre lots, the kind of tight grid that grew up when streetcars ran through orchards. You're three minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, but the neighborhood reads urban first—restaurants within a three-minute walk, a transit stop steps away, 523 dining options within a mile. Homes here run around three hundred eighty-three thousand dollars and draw from Grand Rapids Public Schools.
