Walkable with great nature access
Walkability 7.2/10·Schools 8.8/10
When you turn onto the streets here, you're in a compact 6-acre pocket where errands and dining are genuinely within reach—a grocery is a 6-minute walk, restaurants cluster nearby (78 within a mile), and a coffee shop is about five minutes on foot. Transit stops right at the edge, and downtown Grand Rapids sits just 10 minutes away by car. The subdivision sits in the Mary M. Bonnells Sub. Area, served by East Grand Rapids Public Schools, with John Collins Park a short stroll away and Reeds Lake less than a mile south. Homes here run in the mid-range for the area, and the location trades wide-open land for genuine walkability to what matters most.
