Mercers Lakeview Park First Add.
Quiet lots near top schools
Median $2.2M·Walkability 4.9/10·Schools 8.8/10
You'll remember this place for its lot sizes—each one comfortably over half an acre, which is genuinely rare this close to downtown Grand Rapids (nine minutes away). The seven-acre subdivision sits within the larger Mercers Lakeview Park Add. Area, where homes run around $1.0M and the location trades density for breathing room without sacrificing access to anything. Reeds Lake is a mile out, and Remington Park is a three-minute walk, so the space around you feels generous without being remote. A grocery and restaurant are both a ten-minute walk, and there are 156 restaurants within a mile if you're willing to venture slightly farther—which also means you're in East Grand Rapids Public Schools territory. The airport is under eighteen minutes, transit is five minutes away, and seven parks sit within a mile radius, so the trade-off isn't between amenity and solitude—it's between having acreage and keeping the city close enough that you don't have to think about it.
