N.W. Northrops Fulton & Fuller St. Add.

Restaurants and coffee shops are literally steps from your front door in this 9-acre subdivision, so the real surprise isn't the walkability—it's how intimate the whole place feels despite sitting on the edge of one of Grand Rapids's most energetic blocks. You're about five minutes from downtown, which matters less than the fact that the Fulton Street Farmers Market is a two-minute walk away, operating from the same spot for over a century. Homes run around $312K across lots averaging a tenth of an acre, modest footprints that trade square footage for something harder to price: proximity to 313 restaurants, a dog park four minutes on foot, and a neighborhood association that actually shows up. William C. Abney Academy serves the area, and the real kicker is the walkability score that lets dining and errands happen without much thought—because you're not moving through a subdivision, you're moving through Fulton Heights.
