Walkable near top schools
Median $287K·Walkability 7.7/10·Schools 7.8/10
The moment you turn onto the main drag, you're struck by how walkable it all is—grocery stores and coffee shops literally steps from your front door, a taco stand or burger joint waiting around the corner. Laura L. Beldens Add. spreads across 16 acres of compact lots (averaging 0.21 acres each) in the Byron Oaks No. 2 Area, where nearly 50 restaurants cluster within a mile and errands feel less like trips and more like neighborhood strolls. Homes here run around $287K, and you're only 18 or 19 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids depending on traffic. Byron Township Bicentennial Park sits a short walk away for anyone who needs actual lawn, and the Byron Center Public Schools district serves the area. It's the kind of place where location does half the work—close enough to everything that you might actually use that coffee shop three times a week without it feeling like an errand.
