Newark Heights, Amended Plat of Lot 4 and Vacated Alley
Walkable and connected
Walkability 7.6/10·Schools 4.1/10
What might surprise you about Newark Heights is how much happens within arm's reach—you're steps from transit, a dozen restaurants cluster nearby, and Cheeseboro Park is a short walk away. The subdivision sits in Alger Heights, a one-square-mile pocket of Grand Rapids where the small-town vibe somehow survived the city's sprawl. Downtown is just 10 minutes away, and the airport about 17, but you'll hardly feel like you need to leave the neighborhood itself. Kids attend Grand Rapids Public Schools. Real Food Cafe and Old Goat Tavern are walkable dinner options, and Ken's Fruit Market anchors the commercial heart just over on Eastern and Alger. This is the kind of place where locals stay put.
