Walkable with great nature access

Just off the red brick streets of East Hills, this 11-acre stretch spans tight urban blocks where homes sit shoulder to shoulder on lots averaging a sixteenth of an acre—the kind of footprint that made sense when streetcars ran and orchards gave way to city living. You're five minutes from downtown and can walk to a restaurant before you finish deciding which one, with over 300 dining options scattered across the neighborhood and a coffee shop two blocks away. Breweries, galleries, and the Wealthy Street business district lie within the same geography, and Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area. A transit stop is steps away, and 17 parks cluster within a mile—Hosken Park takes four minutes on foot. The Gerald R. Ford airport is about 21 minutes north, and when you want to launch a boat, Butterworth Park sits 2.5 miles out. Character homes from the late 1800s line these blocks, many with the original woodwork and hardwood bones that whisper about a time when this was the place everyone wanted to be.
