Merrill & Nims Add. sits within East Hills, where the red brick pavements and late-19th-century architecture tell the story of what was once orchards and farms—and the 11-acre subdivision itself reflects that tight urban grain with lots averaging just 0.11 acres. You're steps from restaurants and coffee shops, with 391 dining options within a mile, and the walkability here actually backs up the hype: transit and dining both score a perfect 10. Homes run around $308K, and Congress Park is right next door when you need a break from the brick and storefronts. Downtown is a four-minute drive, which means you're close enough to the Medical Mile and the rest of Grand Rapids without feeling like you're in the thick of it. Grand Rapids Public Schools serves the area, and if you're someone who walks to errands and wants actual neighborhood restaurants at your doorstep rather than a parking lot between you and dinner, this is where that actually works.
