Kooiman Add.
Walkable and connected
Median $267K·Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.7/10
You hit Eastern Park's walking trails and realize right away that Kooiman Add. sits in the thick of things—you're steps from transit, a few minutes on foot to grocers and restaurants, and downtown Grand Rapids is a short drive away. The subdivision itself is compact, eight acres of modest lots that run around $267K, with homes that feel genuine and unpretentious rather than stamped out. You've got ninety restaurants within a mile and the Plainfield Avenue corridor buzzing just beyond the residential streets. The Wellspring Preparatory High School district serves the area, and if you're the type who actually uses what's nearby—coffee shops at three minutes, a grocer at five—the walkability numbers make sense. It reads less like a showcase and more like a real neighborhood where you can get your life done without much fuss.
